Correlation between Retinal Microvasculature Changes Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography and Coronary Artery Disease
Abstract
Background: Cardiovascular disease stays the main reason of mortality worldwide, and early identification of individuals at increased risk is essential for preventive management. Retinal microvasculature displays systemic vascular health, and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) offers a non-invasive tool for its assessment. Patients and Methods: This study included 116 adults undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. Based on angiographic findings, patients were allocated into 2 parallel groups: a control group with non-significant coronary stenosis (
