Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The high mortality rate and huge disease burden of coronary heart disease (CHD) highlight the importance of its early detection and timely intervention. Given the non-invasive nature of fundus photography and recent development in the quantification of retinal microvascular parameters with deep learning techniques, our study aims to investigate the association between incident CHD and retinal microvascular parameters.
