    Polyvascular disease (PVD) involves atherosclerosis in multiple vascular beds and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

  • 2

    The study hypothesizes that acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with PVD show distinct retinal microvascular changes detectable by OCTA.

  • 3

    A total of 238 patients with ACS were analyzed, with 177 undergoing OCTA imaging to assess retinal microvascular health.

  • 4

    OCTA and OCT/IVUS imaging techniques were utilized to evaluate retinal and coronary plaque characteristics in ACS patients.

  • 5

    Statistical analyses were performed to identify significant predictors of PVD using multivariable logistic regression.
