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 follows people to understand heart disease risk by combining a heart risk score with genetic risk (polygenic risk). It may help improve how doctors identify who is at higher risk and could guide prevention planning.
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 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 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 looks at special eye scans (OCT) to see if they can help doctors predict how heart patients will do. It also uses artificial intelligence to analyze the scans. If you have had this type of scan during a heart procedure, you might be able to join.
