Abstract:Purpose
Subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are strongly associated with vasculopathies such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.

Methods
A cross-sectional study at Mount Sinai Hospital recruited 39 subjects with ischemic stroke (aged 52–90; 18… Show more
