Healing from research: A real possibility

hich is important if there is to be clinical application."

Using data collected from three large clinical trials involving about 20,000 people, Associate Professor Wong's research demonstrated the link between different changes in retinal blood vessels and different types of cardiovascular disease.

His research showed that more severe changes in the retinal arteries predicted stroke, but that subtle degrees of narrowing of blood vessels predicted high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

Associate Professor Wong has authored more than 80 articles on this subject in the past three years, published in prestigious journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, the Lancet, the Journal of the American Medical Association and the British Medical Journal.
