Retinal scan AI to predict heart disease risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera to take a picture of the back of your eye (retina) and then uses artificial intelligence to estimate your risk of developing heart disease in the future. It could help doctors find people at high risk earlier, so they can take steps to protect their heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- You have no serious health conditions like severe lung disease, cancer, or major surgery.
- You are not currently taking statin medications for cholesterol.
- You have no history of cardiovascular disease (heart attack, stroke, or pre-existing heart conditions).
- You are willing to have a simple eye exam and participate in follow-up if needed.

This study is testing a new AI tool that helps doctors understand and treat coronary artery disease. If you have or might have this condition, your medical information could help improve the tool for future patients.
This study looks at whether images of the back of your eye and certain substances in your blood can help identify people at high risk for heart disease. If you're having tests for chest pain or other heart concerns, this research may help improve early detection.
This trial tests whether an AI system can detect signs of coronary artery disease (blockages in heart arteries) by analyzing a photo of your face. It may help identify people in the community who need further heart testing.
This study tests whether a simple eye photo can help doctors better predict the course of heart failure with reduced pumping strength. If it works, this low-cost test could improve care for people with this condition.
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze your heart CT scan and better predict your risk of coronary artery disease (narrowing of the arteries that supply your heart). The goal is to help doctors identify who might need earlier treatment or more careful monitoring.
This study uses deep learning (computer pattern recognition) to analyze retinal photos (pictures of the eye’s blood vessels). It aims to link what’s seen in the eye to heart and blood-vessel disease patterns, especially in people with higher cardiovascular risk.
