Eye exams can indicate stroke risk

A recent study shows that eye retina scans can help in the early detection of atrial fibrillation, a typically hidden disorder that causes irregular heartbeats and increases the risk of stroke. The study, which involved over 90,000 people, found that those with atrial fibrillation often have thinner retinas, making it easier to identify the condition before symptoms or complications appear. Using retinal imaging as an adjunct in eye examinations offers an opportunity to identify individuals at higher risk of heart problems and allows doctors to intervene early to prevent stroke.
