Chorioretinal microvascular changes in slow flow coronary phenomenon: a multi-center study.

ABSTRACT: We compared chorioretinal microvascular of Slow Coronary Flow Phenomenon (SCFP) patients using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) to healthy controls. We recruited 21 patients from September 2023 until January 2024 from two referral centers. We enrolled 21 age-sex-matched controls retrospectively. Patients were referred to obtain OCTA in our outpatient ophthalmology clinic. The OCTA and Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI) OCT findings were measured. Whole image and perifoveal Vascular Density (VD) of superficial and deep capillary plexuses and Parafoveal VD of superficial layer were diminished in SCFP groups compared to controls (p < 0.05) while both superficial and deep foveal VD and deep parafoveal VD were spared. Sub-Foveal Choroidal Thickness (SFCT) was significantly thinned comp
