Eye scans could bring heart health diagnosis from hospital to community, widening access to specialist care nationwide. A study in PLOS Digital Health found non-invasive retinal scans could identify patients at risk of atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. #NIHR20

NIHR-branded graphic featuring a portrait photograph of a researcher wearing a white shirt and lanyard alongside a quote from lead author Dr. Josef Huemer. The quote states that, if confirmed by further research, routine eye examinations could help identify people who would benefit from closer cardiac assessment and earlier treatment to reduce stroke risk. The graphic includes NIHR Biomedical Research Centre: Moorfields branding and a "20 Years" anniversary logo.
