Choroidal Vascularity Index Changes in Treatment-Naïve Hypercholesterolemia Patients
The present findings show that hypercholesterolemia patients have a significantly thicker SA and a lower CVI than healthy controls. Interestingly, the increased stromal are in the patients did not result in an increase in the TCA or compressed vascular tissues that would have presented as a reduction in LA. The present findings should be considered preliminary, and additional studies with longer follow-ups may further clarify the effects of increased SA thickness.
