Pilot study examining the relationship between retinal vasculature and cognition in older adults recently discharged from a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program
The results of this study support a direct relationship between retinal vascular integrity and cognition in those at high risk for cognitive impairment and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Future research in larger samples with data collection both pre- and post-cardiac rehabilitation will inform whether this relationship is mediated by exercise.
