Can a Photo of Your Eye Predict a Heart Attack? U.S. Cardiologist Explains AI Retinal Imaging

In this webinar, you will explore the potential role of retinal AI in cardiovascular care, featuring insights from Dr. Norman E. Lepor, Founder and Director of the National Heart Institute and a practicing U.S. cardiologist. ✅ Section 1 — The Problem (00:58~07:05) Only 35% of statin-eligible adults actually take the medication Traditional risk calculators (Pooled Cohort, PREVENT-ASCVD) misclassify 20–30% of patients ✅ Section 2 — Why Visualization Matters (07:05~08:17) Patients comply better when they can see their disease Concrete images transform "abstract risk" into "tangible reality" ✅ Section 3 — The Retina as a Biomarker (08:17~12:14) The retina is the only place where blood vessels can be viewed directly and non-invasively Provides accuracy comparable to coronary calcium scoring ✅ Section 4 — The Technology in Action (12:14~23:14) ✅ Section 5 — Clinical Implementation (23:14~25:00) Combined with LDL, Lp(a), carotid US, and CT imaging for full risk panel ✅ Section 6 — Q&A (26:00~46:36)
