Retinal vessel caliber and caliber responses in true normotensive black and white adults: The African-PREDICT study

ConclusionsAlready at a young age, healthy black adults showed narrower retinal arteries relative to the white population. Follow-up studies are underway to show if this will be related to increased risk for hypertension development. The reason for the larger vessel dilation responses to FLIP in the black population is unclear and warrants further investigation.
