Eye scan and blood test to predict heart disease risk
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have symptoms that suggest your heart may not be getting enough blood, or you have several risk factors for heart disease (like high blood pressure or high cholesterol).
- You had a coronary angiography during your hospital stay.
- You had blood drawn while in the hospital.
- You had photos taken of the back of both eyes during your hospital stay.
- Your complete medical records are available.

This study uses your genetic information to estimate your risk for heart disease. It may help you and your doctor decide if you should take medication to protect your heart.
This trial uses existing CT scans of your heart to test a new screening tool that may help detect early signs of heart disease and eye problems, especially if you have had diabetes for a long time.
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 how blood vessels in the retina change in people with conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help doctors better understand how these common illnesses affect the eyes.
This study uses your heart CT scan results along with your blood sugar, cholesterol, and other metabolic numbers to build a tool that predicts your risk of future heart problems. The goal is to help doctors better personalize prevention and treatment for people with coronary artery disease.
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.
