Retinal arteriole wall thickness, WLR, and wall cross-sectional area in patients with MA as compared with controls. Mean differences are adjusted for BMI (see text for details).
| Retinal Vessel Measures | MA Patients (n = 18) |
Healthy Controls (n = 17) | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| WLR * (mean, SD) | 0.29 ± 0.05 | 0.25 ± 0.03 | 0.008 |
| WCSA ** (mean, SD) | 4876 ± 976 | 4004 ± 872 | 0.012 |
| Internal diameter (mean, SD) | 96.25 ± 13.14 | 94.76 ± 13.15 | NS |
| External diameter (mean, SD) | 124.78 ± 14.54 | 117.8 ± 15.30 | NS |
| Wall thickness (mean, SD) | 13.92 ± 1.53 | 11.87 ± 1.50 | 0.001 |
* WLR: wall to lumen ratio. ** WCSA: wall cross-sectional area.
