PECULIAR FEATURES OF CEREBRAL PERFUSION IN YOUNG PATIENTS WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME
Keywords:
Metabolic syndrome, cerebral perfusion, young adults, cerebral blood flowAbstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a multifactorial clinical condition characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and impaired glucose metabolism. Although traditionally associated with middle-aged and elderly populations, the prevalence of MetS among young adults has increased significantly over recent decades. Early vascular dysfunction caused by MetS may adversely affect cerebral blood circulation before the appearance of clinically evident cerebrovascular diseases. Cerebral perfusion abnormalities represent one of the earliest manifestations of vascular impairment and may contribute to cognitive decline and increased risk of ischemic stroke. This article reviews the specific characteristics of cerebral perfusion in young patients with metabolic syndrome and discusses the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and clinical significance.
