About this study
Official title: Retinal Microvascularization and Cardiovascular Diseases
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether there are links between the blood vessels of the retina as a whole and heart and/or vascular diseases (cardiovascular diseases).
The arteries and veins of the retina are, like the large vessels of the human body (aorta, coronary, cerebral arteries), exposed to the complications of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid profile) or tobacco. Several studies have shown that changes in retinal vessels (microvascularization) generally occur several years before damage to large peripheral vessels (macrovascularization). The study of the vessels of the retina is now possible thanks to simple and non-invasive examinations of photographs (not creating any lesion). They allow a painless evaluation of the vessels in the retina.

Ultimately, if this study is conclusive, the patient's cardiovascular risk could be evaluated simply by analysis of the vessels of the retina.
The study is being conducted in the ophthalmology and cardiology departments of Dijon University Hospital. In total, the investigators wish to include approximately 510 patients who present cardiovascular risk factors (255 low risk patients recruited in the ophthalmology department and 255 high risk patients hospitalized in the cardiology department).
All patients participating in the study will be asked to visit the ophthalmology department for a complete examination of the retina.
- Being tested
- Optical Coherence Tomography angiography, Fundus, cardiac ultrasound scan

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of inclusion). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Surface of the avascular zone in the central retina (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
