Retinal blood vessels have become promising biomarkers for the early diagnosis and evaluation of systemic disorders, including myocardial infarction (heart disease) and cerebrovascular diseases. With an emphasis on current developments in retinal imaging techniques and their importance in identifying early vascular changes connected to both diseases, this review article explores the relationship between retinal blood vessels and these two significant systemic ailments. The benefits and drawbacks of several non-invasive imaging techniques for documenting retinal vascular changes, such as fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT), are discussed. The study examines a variety of information that connects myocardial infarction risk, occurrence, and development to retinal vessel characteristics like calibre, tortuosity, and branching patterns. The underlying processes that might connect retinal vascular alterations to these systemic diseases are also perhaps investigated. In addition, common risk factors and systemic diseases that affect both the retinal and systemic vasculature are described as shared pathophysiological pathways. The promise of retinal vessel analysis as a non-invasive method for risk assessment, diagnosis, and monitoring of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular illnesses is highlighted by these findings. Retinal vascular analysis has the potential for improved patient outcomes through prompt interventions because of its affordability, accessibility, and non-invasive nature. To fully realize the clinical potential of this strategy, a number of issues, such as the standardization of imaging methods and the requirement for extensive longitudinal investigations, must be resolved.
