Objective: Sublingual varicose veins are variations of normality that appear more prominent during aging. The systematic review aim to investigate sublingual varicose veins frequency in patients exposed to systemic and environmental exposed factors linked to cardiovascular diseases.
Methods: This systematic review was based on the PECO strategy, and the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and Grey Literature library were searched for publications examining the association between sublingual varicose veins and systemic and environmental exposed factors linked to cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and leg varices. A meta-analysis was conducted using random-effects models. This review included 11 studies with a total of 2,272 patients with sublingual varicosity and systemic exposed factors linked to cardiovascular diseases. The quality assessment was improved by Newcastle and Ottawa Scales (NOS).
Results: Consistent results were observed across all systemic and environmental exposed factors linked to cardiovascular diseases subgroups. We found association between sublingual varicose veins and hypertension [p = 0.0002; 95%IC2.90 [1.66-5.06]; I 91%); diabetics (p = 0.009; 95%IC 3.19 [1.34 - 7.62]; I 84%); tobacco abuse (p = 0.002; 95%IC 1.97 [1.29 - 3.01]; I 82%) and leg varicosity (p = 0.03; 95%IC 2.63 [1.08 - 6.44]; I 95%). Seven articles received score 7, indicating good quality and four articles received moderate quality.
Conclusion: Patients exposed to exposed factors that affect blood vessels showed a higher prevalence of sublingual varicose veins. These findings emphasize the importance of recognizing oral signs underlying systemic diseases.

A novel framework for tongue feature extraction framework based on sublingual vein segmentation.
IEEE Trans Nanobioscience
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of sublingual vein features in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tongue diagnosis, highlighting how they reflect blood circulation and inform treatment decisions.
- It addresses the challenges of accurately extracting these features due to limited datasets and noise interference from other elements.
- The authors introduce a new segmentation method using a Polyp-PVT network and a Swin-Transformer for improved extraction of sublingual vein features, supported by a comprehensive dataset, showing superior performance compared to current techniques.

Sublingual varices are characterized by abnormally dilated veins. Some systemic conditions such as cardiovascular disease have been suggested to be associated with sublingual varices. Due to the convenience in examining the sublingual area, the present study aimed to assess the relationship between sublingual varices and hypertension.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence of systemic diseases and oral lesions among elderly residents in Mashhad Geriatric Institutes.
- Over 224 participants, with an average age of around 76, were examined, revealing common systemic issues like hypertension, Alzheimer's, and diabetes, with a significant portion having multiple concurrent diseases.
- Notably, 97.1% of the participants had at least one oral lesion, with fissured tongue and sublingual varicosities being the most prevalent, highlighting the need for regular oral examinations in the elderly for early detection and treatment.

Background: Previous research has investigated the connection between sublingual varices (SV) and cardiovascular disease, aging, and smoking. However, it is still unclear whether arterial hypertension affects the presence of SV. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the relationship between hypertension and the presence of SV.
