dc.description.abstractBackground: This study explores the intricate connections between choroidal vascular index (CVI) and noninvasive ultrasonographic atherosclerosis predictors, shedding light on the potential links between ocular vascular dynamics and systemic cardiovascular health. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 81 participants, assessing CVI, intima-media thickness (IMT), extra -media thickness (EMT), and the PATIMA index. The presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) was also evaluated. Statistical methods included descriptive statistics, t -tests for group comparisons, Spearman correlation analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: Our findings revealed that patients with CAD had lower CVI values compared to those without CAD, underscoring a potential association between CVI and CAD. Significant negative correlations were observed between CVI and IMT, EMT, PATIMA, and CAD. ROC curve analysis identified optimal CVI cutoff values for hypertension and CAD detection, showcasing its potential as a diagnostic marker. Discussion: Our results align with existing literature on ocular vascular changes, supporting the notion that CVI may be a promising indicator of systemic vascular conditions. The study contributes to the broader understanding of the relationships between ocular and cardiovascular health, providing a foundation for future research and clinical applications. Conclusion: The study suggests that CVI holds clinical relevance as a non-invasive marker for identifying systemic conditions, offering insights into the fields of neurology, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. Addressing its limitations, this research encourages further investigation into the multifaceted connections between CVI and atherosclerosis predictors.en_US
