Association of Macular Degeneration with Heart Disease
This research study is performed a
retrospective chart review of more than 13,000 patients at the Lexington Veterans
Affairs Medical Center. Patients
diagnosed as having macular degeneration are subjects , and patients diagnosed with cataract and

Results indicate a strong correlation between
macular degeneration and cardiovascular diseases. Not surprising since drusen bodies being lipids
in nature are also depositing in arteries.
