Atlas of ocular blood flow: vascular anatomy, pathophysiology, and metabolism

This text examines the vascular anatomy and physiology of the eye as well as the assessment of ocular circulation in health and disease. It offers a cutting-edge analysis of the eye's blood supply and how it is affected by conditionssuch as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.425 illustrations -- including 250 in full color -- detail anatomy, techniques, the results of imaging studies, and more. INDICE: I. Ocular vasculature, anatomical structure and function1. Anatomy(different illustrations on anatomical structures in the orbit)a. Descriptionof vasculature (and anatomic variations) beginning from the heart to the ophthalmic veinb. Innervation2. Vascular physiology: Controls in general termsa. Innervationb. Autoregulation (e.g., intracular pressure)c. Relationship betweenblood pressure and blood flow in these vesselsd. Intraocular pressure and blood flow to these vesselse. Different influencing factors (e.g. mediators of vessel dilation, vasoconstrictors) with diagrams showing affection of vessels3. Pathophysiologya. Loss of innervation (Horner syndrome b. Ion channel dysfunction (theory)c. Vasospasm (clinical observation, cold hand, migraine, raynaud)d. Gas perturbations (hyperoxia, hypoxia, hypercapnia) and pharmacologyII. Principles of technology (including diagrams)4. Ultrasounda. Physical basics and anatomical description with illustrationsb. History/early measurementsc. Contemporary measurementsd.
