Summary

This study explores whether a simple, non-invasive eye scan (OCT-A) can diagnose microvascular angina, a heart condition affecting about 112 million people worldwide. Currently, diagnosis requires an invasive heart procedure to measure microcirculatory resistance. Researchers will compare eye scan results with the standard invasive test in 158 adults to see if the eye scan is a reliable alternative. If proven effective, this could make diagnosis faster, cheaper, and more accessible.

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 quick, non-invasive eye scan to diagnose microvascular angina, replacing the current invasive heart procedure.
What could go wrong: This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. It only tests if the eye scan matches the invasive test results, and may not prove useful for all patients or replace the gold standard.
