Is retinal vein occlusion highly associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and acute myocardial infarction (MI) are significant vascular events that impact patient health and mortality. Both conditions share common risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. This study investigated the potential connection between RVO and MI, particularly among younger individuals, to improve preventive measures and management protocols.

Method

A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, adhering to the PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. Multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and ClinicalTrials.gov, were exhaustively searched until August 24, 2024. Studies were selected based on their reports of the association between RVO and MI risk. Quality assessment
