While retinal imaging has traditionally been recognized for identifying vascular changes in systemic conditions such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus, a new ophthalmologic field, cardiac-oculomics, has associated retinal biomarker changes with other cardiovascular diseases with retinal manifestations. Several imaging modalities visualize the retina, including color fundus photography (CFP), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA), which visualize the retinal surface, the individual retinal layers, and the microvasculature within those layers, respectively. In these modalities, imaging-derived biomarkers can present due to CVD and have been linked to the presence, progression, or risk of developing a range of CVD, including hypertension, carotid artery disease, valvular heart disease, cerebral infarction, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. Promising artificial intelligence (AI) models have been developed to complement existing risk-prediction tools, but standardization and clinical trials are needed for clinical adoption. Beyond risk estimation, there is growing interest in assessing real-time cardiovascular status to track vascular changes following pharmacotherapy, surgery, or acute decompensation. This review offers an up-to-date assessment of the cardiac-oculomics literature and aims to raise awareness among cardiologists and encourage interdepartmental collaboration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd12060230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,17]],"date-time":"2025-06-17T04:20:23Z","timestamp":1750134023000},"page":"230","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Retinal Imaging as a Window into Cardiovascular Health: Towards Harnessing Retinal Analytics for Precision Cardiovascular Medicine"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4041-581X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jay Bharatsingh","family":"Bisen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hayden","family":"Sikora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anushree","family":"Aneja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjiv J.","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1351-5874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rukhsana G.","family":"Mirza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e009999","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCOUTCOMES.123.009999","article-title":"Cost of Cardiovascular Disease Event and Cardiovascular Disease Treatment-Related Complication Hospitalizations in the United States","volume":"17","author":"Tajeu","year":"2024","journal-title":"Circ.
