Abstract: Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality among individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Recent clinical evidence suggests that retinal microvascular changes observed in diabetic patients reflect systemic vascular health, providing a non-invasive window into cardiovascular risk. This project proposes a deep learning–based framework for predicting CVD risk specifically using retinal fundus images collected from T2DM patients. Retinal datasets from IDRiD, Messidor-2, and APTOS 2019 were unified and reformulated into a binary cardiovascular risk screening task (Low Risk vs. High Risk). We conducted a comprehensive performance evaluation using multiple advanced architectures, including EfficientNet variants, ConvNeXt, RegNet, ResNext-50 and Transformer-based models (Swin, CoAtNet). Our results demonstrate that these models can effectively capture retinal biomarkers, with top-performing architectures achieving an accuracy of 93% and an AUC-ROC of 0.98. To ensure clinical interpretability, Grad-CAM visualization was implemented to highlight the specific retinal regions driving CVD risk prediction. This approach highlights the potential of retinal imaging as a scalable, cost-effective tool for early cardiovascular risk assessment in diabetic populations, facilitating timely intervention. Furthermore, the predictive performance can be further enhanced by integrating additional clinical data, such as patient history, laboratory parameters, and demographic information.
