It aimed to investigate the potential causal relationship between eye-image features and CHD, as examined by coronary angiography (CAG).
The study selected the patients hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology from November 15, 2021 to February 27, 2022. The selected patients were divided into two groups based on their CAG findings: the CHD group (at least one coronary lesion stenosis≥50%) and the control group (lesion stenosis<50%).
The final analysis included 342 patients out of a total of 426 participants, and 165 (48.2%) were diagnosed with CHD among these participants. The study found that certain characteristics in the left region 5 (L5) and right region (R5) were associated with CHD, including L5 pink dark speckle (OR: 4.143, 95%CI[1.135, 15.124], P=0.031), L5 vascular tortuosity (OR: 0.234, 95%CI[0.077, 0.71], P=0.010), R5 dark red blood vessels (known as blood meridian in TCM)(OR: 1.683, 95%CI[1.035, 2.738], P=0.036) and R5 yellowish mounds (OR: 2.083, 95%CI[1.221, 3.554], P=0.007). Multivariate regression analyses showed that L5 vascular tortuosity had a negative correlation with CHD.
The study revealed that four types of eye-image features, namely pink dark speckle, vascular tortuosity, dark red blood vessels and yellowish mounds, were associated with CHD. A-mong these features, vascular tortuosity showed a negative correlation with CHD, which could potentially aid in the diagnosis of the disease.
