Doctors use eye scans to peek at sleep Apnea's hidden heart dangers

NCT ID NCT03979001

Summary

This study tested whether a new, quick eye scan could spot tiny changes in the blood vessels of people with obstructive sleep apnea. Researchers compared eye scans from 166 adults, some with sleep apnea and some without, to see if the scans revealed early signs of damage. The goal was to see if this non-invasive tool could help predict future heart risks in sleep apnea patients.
