Background And Objectives: The examination of the fundus allows to evaluate retinal the microcirculation in vivo. We assess the reliability and validity of ALTAIR software, and to evaluate its clinical relevance by the association of thickness, area and length of the retinal vessels with other measures of vascular structure and function, target organ damage and cardiovascular risk.

Methods: Cross-sectional study involving a total of 250 subjects aged 62 ± 9 years, 51 % males.

Introduction: The fundus examination is a non-invasive evaluation of the microcirculation of the retina. The aim of the present study is to develop and validate (reliability and validity) the ALTAIR software platform (Automatic image analyser to assess retinal vessel calibre) in order to analyse its utility in different clinical environments.

Methods And Analysis: A cross-sectional study in the first phase and a prospective observational study in the second with 4 years of follow-up.
