Stiffer arteries linked to visual field loss in US adults
The quarter of adults with the stiffest arteries had 4.29 predicted visual field defects, versus 3.06 in the quarter with the most elastic arteries.The quarter of adults with the stiffest arteries had 4.29 predicted visual field defects, versus 3.06 in the quarter with the most elastic arteries.
