Retinal photos to help predict heart failure outcomes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 79 years old.
- Your heart's pumping strength (left ventricular ejection fraction) is 40% or less.
- You are willing to have a photo taken of the back of your eye.
- You do not have severe eye disease that would prevent getting a clear eye photo.
- You are not pregnant and can make your own medical decisions.

This study uses a simple camera to take pictures of the back of your eye (retina) to see how useful retinal imaging might be in people with heart failure. You may also be invited as a healthy control, depending on the group you belong to.
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.
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.
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 study uses retinal imaging (pictures of the back of the eye) and OCT scans to look for signs of a specific heart condition called transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). It may help doctors find this condition with an eye exam instead of more invasive tests.
This study is testing a new camera system to take pictures of the inside of the eye (the back part where the retina is). It is for people who have eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy. The goal is to see how well the camera works in real-world conditions.
