Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidemia who are willing to participate.

Probably not a fit

Patients with malignant tumors, autoimmune diseases, or immunodeficiency diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate retinal vascular changes in patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). The study will collect comprehensive patient data, including demographics, comorbidities, medications, and various laboratory tests over a follow-up period of five years. By utilizing OCTA, the researchers hope to quantify vascular changes in a noninvasive manner, providing valuable insights into the relationship between these common internal diseases and retinal health.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of retinal vascular changes associated with common internal diseases, potentially leading to improved patient management.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have utilized color fundus photography for similar assessments, but this study's use of OCTA represents a novel approach with the potential for more precise quantification.
