Since persons with diabetes routinely receive retinal imaging to evaluate their diabetic retinopathy status, AI-based retinal imaging may have potential to be used as an opportunistic comprehensive screening for multiple systemic micro- and macro-vascular complications of diabetes.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative systematic review on published literature using AI on retina images to detect systemic diabetes complications.
• We report drainage of SVC and IVC to the LA with normal drainage of CS. • A defect in juxtaposed atrial appendages allowed flow from LA to RA. • TTE with agitated saline contrast study confirmed diagnosis.
