cardiovascular disease and diabetic retinopathy

Cardiovascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, including heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. It is primarily caused by the accumulation of fatty deposits in the blood vessels, leading to restricted blood flow and potential damage to the organs. Diabetic retinopathy, on the other hand, is a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This condition can lead to vision loss and even blindness if left untreated.
