How to tell what’s going on in the circulatory system just by looking at your eyes

Thanks to modern non-invasive technologies, it is possible to visualize how the retinal arteries change under the influence of physical exertion, investigate the phenomenon of myogenic self-regulation and relate it to other organs and systems in the human body, especially to the cardiovascular system – wrote Maria Żmijewska, a medical student at the Faculty of Medicine of the Medical University of Warsaw.
