To evaluate the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) measured by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) in eyes of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients.
Fifty-six patients with CHF and 56 age- and gender-matched healthy individuals were enrolled. The SFCT was measured by EDI-OCT. The ejection fraction of left ventricle (EFLV), age, intraocular pressure (IOP), axial length (AL), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) were also measured.
Mean SFCT was 181.2 ± 80.23 μm in the study group and 283.6 ± 52.4 μm in the control group (p = 0.000). There was a statistically significant correlation between the SFCT and each of EFLV and age. SFCT value was not statistically significantly associated with AL, IOP and OPP.
Our results suggest that SFCT is lower in eyes of CHF patients compared to age- and gender-matched healthy individuals.
评估慢性心力衰竭（CHF）患者眼部通过增强深度成像光学相干断层扫描（EDI-OCT）测量的黄斑中心凹下脉络膜厚度（SFCT）。
纳入56例CHF患者以及56例年龄和性别匹配的健康个体。通过EDI-OCT测量SFCT。还测量了左心室射血分数（EFLV）、年龄、眼压（IOP）、眼轴长度（AL）、收缩压和舒张压以及眼灌注压（OPP）。
研究组的平均SFCT为181.2±80.23μm，对照组为283.6±52.4μm（p = 0.000）。SFCT与EFLV和年龄中的每一项均存在统计学显著相关性。SFCT值与AL、IOP和OPP无统计学显著关联。
我们的结果表明，与年龄和性别匹配的健康个体相比，CHF患者眼部的SFCT较低。
