Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the retinal vessel caliber, choroidal thickness, and ocular perfusion pressure in patients with low cardiac output. Patients and methods: Between June 2014 and June 2015, a total of 44 patients (34 males, 10 females; mean age 59.3±12.4 years) with low ejection fraction due to dilated cardiomyopathy and 44 healthy, age- and sex-matched individuals (34 males, 10 females; mean age 59.3±8.5 years) were included in this cross-sectional comparative study. All patients in the study group had an ejection fraction less than 40%. Retinal vascular caliber measurements were made using retinal photographs with fluorescein angiography, whereas subfoveal choroidal thickness and foveal thickness were measured using the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The ocular perfusion pressure was calculated according to a formula consisting of mean arterial blood pressure and intraocular pressure. Results...
