Abstract

Purpose. To study the parameters of OCTA with changes in the organ of vision against the background of atherosclerosis. Results. The registration of OCTA in patients of group I, a decrease in the density of capillaries of the superficial vascular network was 15% and amounted to 45.21±2.62% (p<0.05), of the deep vascular plexus by 19%, which amounted to 45.89±2.71% (p<0.05). Analysis of OCTA in patients of group II revealed a sharp decrease (by 48%) in the density of capillaries in both the superficial and deep vascular plexuses of the retina, which amounted to 33.91±3.01% (p<0.05) and 33.65±2.89% (p<0.05), respectively. Conclusion. The use of OCTA allows to detect changes in hemoperfusion in all layers of the retina and optic nerve in the early stages of atherosclerosis development, which will allow early diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. Key words: organ of vision, atherosclerosis, optical coherence tomography with angiography.
