A scan which forms part of a routine eye test could help predict a person’s risk of having a heart attack or stroke within the next 10 years, a study suggests.
Researchers used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse digital retinal photographs, which are taken to capture images from the back of the eye to look for certain conditions.
