Eye scan for microvascular angina
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a non-invasive eye scan (OCT-A) can detect changes in tiny blood vessels in the retina of people with chest pain caused by problems with the heart's small arteries (microvascular angina). If it works, it could be a simpler way to diagnose this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You have chest pain or other symptoms, and doctors checked your heart with a special test called IMR and found it was caused by tiny blood vessel problems, not blocked large arteries.
- You are under the care of doctors at Dijon University Hospital.
- You do not have any eye problems like macular disease, retinal disease, or severe nearsightedness in both eyes.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a genetic or other type of heart muscle disease (like dilated, hypertrophic, or restrictive cardiomyopathy).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses an advanced eye scan (OCT-A) to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It compares people with systemic blood vessel conditions (like high blood pressure or inflammatory disease) to healthy volunteers, to see if the eye scan can help predict or understand these diseases.
This study uses advanced eye scans (OCT and retinal vessel imaging) to look for patterns in the retina that might be different in people with Multiple Sclerosis and other neuroinflammatory diseases. The goal is to find markers that could help doctors better understand and monitor these conditions.
This trial tests whether a special eye imaging scan (fundus OCTA) can help identify “CMD,” a type of heart-related blood flow problem. You may be eligible if you already had coronary angiography and your coronary narrowing is less than 50%.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to look at tiny blood vessels in the eye and see if they can help predict outcomes for people who had a heart attack without blocked arteries (MINOCA). It compares these patients to others with typical heart attacks and healthy people.
This study uses an eye scan called OCTA to look at blood vessels in the retina. It compares people with certain heart or blood vessel conditions (like high blood pressure or diabetes) to healthy volunteers to see if eye changes can help detect heart disease early.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to check the health of tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye. It may help doctors understand small vessel disease in the brain and find easier ways to monitor it.
