Abstract
An arteriosclerosis detection system including an electrocardiographic signal detection device, an eyeground image detection device for detecting an eyeground image in synchronization with an electrocardiographic signal detected by the detection device. The arteriosclerosis detection system further includes an eyeground vein constriction detection device for detecting the constriction of an eyeground vein in the vicinity of a site at which the eyeground vein and an eyeground artery cross each other. The constriction is detected based on the detected eyeground image in synchronization with the electrocardiographic signal. The arteriosclerosis detection system detects the eyeground image by executing an algorithm of software, which provides an eyeground image synchronized with an electrocardiographic signal by obtaining a stationary eyeground image synchronized with an arbitrary electrocardiographic signal from an animated eyeground image.
