Impact of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors on Subfoveal Choroidal Thickness by Enhanced-depth Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

CONCLUSIONS Comorbid risk factors for CVD are independently associated with optical coherence tomography–derived measurements of subfoveal choroidal thickness in a vasculopathic population of U.S. veterans, and there are detectable differences in subfoveal choroidal thickness between groups with and without CVD risk factors. Larger studies with adequate controls and longitudinal design are necessary to assess the clinical role of SFCT measurements in CVD risk analysis.
