NCT ID NCT03739073

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether a non-invasive eye scan (OCTA) can predict how well blood flows in the heart's small arteries. Researchers examined 101 people with coronary artery disease, comparing eye images to measurements taken during heart catheterization. The goal was to see if the eye test could replace or reduce the need for invasive heart procedures.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, non-invasive eye test to help assess heart artery health without invasive procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (101 participants) focused on finding a correlation, not proving a treatment. The results may not apply to all patients or lead to a reliable test.
