Linking Diabetic Retinopathy Severity to Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factors in Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, leading to chronic complications, notably cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD). Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a leading cause of blindness, may serve as a non-invasive marker for CAD. This study investigates the correlation between DR and CAD to explore its diagnostic potential in diabetic populations.
