Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), macular sensitivity (MS) assessed by MAIA microperimetry, central macular thickness (CMT), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, vessel density of superficial capillary plexus (SCP VD) and deep capillary plexus (DCP VD) and choriocapillaris measured by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) were evaluated.</i> </p> <p> <i><b>Results</b>: FAZ area was 0.42±0.03 mm<sup>2</sup> in group A and 0.28±0.03 mm<sup>2</sup> in group B (p&lt;0.05). SCP VD was 11.4±3.1% in group A and 25.4±2.5% in group B (p&lt;0.05). DCP VD was 22.3±1.1% in group A and 39.2±3.5% in group B (p&lt;0.05). Choriocapillaris VD was 51.2±1.1% in group A and 63.1±1.2% in group B (p&lt;0.05). Correlations between ocular parameters and ejection fraction (EF) were revealed (BCVA: r=0.61, p&lt;0.05; MS: r=0.68, p&lt;0.05; CMT: r=-0.72, p&lt;0.05; FAZ: r=-0.73, p&lt;0.05; SCP VD: r=0.82, p&lt;0.05; DCP VD: r=0.81, p&lt;0.05; choriocapillaris VD: r=0.76, p&lt;0.05).</i> </p> <p> <i><b>Conclusions</b>: in patients with hypertension and CHD with coronary artery stenosis, significant (p&lt;0.05) reduction in BCVA, MS, SCP VD, DCP VD, and choriocapillaris VD and increase in CMT and FAZ area were detected compared to healthy individuals. Additionally, strong correlations between ocular parameters (FAZ, SCP VD, DCP VD, and choriocapillaris VD) and EF (p&lt;0.05) were identified. OCTA may be recommended to monitor fundus vessels in hypertension and CHD as an effective noninvasive valuable diagnostic tool to verify hypertension and CHD.</i> </p> <p> <i><b>Keywords</b>: hypertension, coronary heart disease, coronary artery stenosis, hypertensive retinopathy, foveal avascular zone, vessel density, optical coherence tomography angiography.</i> </p> <p> <i><b>For citation: </b>Moshetova L.K., Vorobyeva I.V., Dgebuadze A. et al.
