The team of Japanese researchers found that the choroidal MBR in the nasal region is correlated with systemic arterial stiffness and is significantly lower in patients with coronary artery multivessel disease.

In a presentation at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Annual Meeting in New Orleans, data demonstrated the loss of retinal pigmented epithelial and photoreceptor cells, both of which are required for visual function.

According to data presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Annual Meeting in New Orleans, post-hoc analysis from the GATHER trials, for the first time, signals that reduced rate of vision loss in patients receiving avacincaptad pegol was correlated with reduced geographic atrophy (GA) growth.
