Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with coronary artery disease characterized by significant stenosis.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severely tortuous or calcified coronary arteries or those with uncontrolled heart failure may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish a multimodality imaging database for polyvascular disease (PVD) and enhance early screening processes using artificial intelligence. It will utilize non-invasive imaging techniques, including ocular OCTA and CTA, to develop an integrated early warning model for PVD. The study also seeks to investigate the roles of extracellular vesicles in PVD development and create a risk assessment system based on multi-omics and imaging biomarkers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early detection and management of polyvascular disease, potentially reducing complications and enhancing patient outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of integrating multimodal imaging and artificial intelligence is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in improving early detection of vascular diseases.
