Abstrakt: The article discusses a study that examines the relationship between retinal microvascular changes and angiographic findings. Patients who were candidates for angiography were referred to the ophthalmology department for the determination of the severity of retinal atherosclerosis based on the Scheie classification, and the Gensini score was calculated using angiography finding. The results demonstrated that fundoscopic changes might be a predictor of coronary artery diseases (CADs).
