英文摘要
Patients with metabolic syndrome, who are invariably obese, exhibit a cluster of risk factors for
cardiovascular disease including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and abnormalities in cholesterol
metabolism. The major morbidity in such patients is myocardial infarction and stroke caused by accelerated
atherosclerosis. The complex pathophysiological disturbances that promote atherogenesis also include
chronic inflammation, adipocyte endocrine dysfunction, and abnormalities in vascular compliance. The
development of insulin resistance is a critical underlying feature of metabolic syndrome, which results in
abnormal levels of insulin and other hormones. We hypothesize that in addition to the enhanced deposition
of lipid in large, well-characterized subcutaneous and visceral fat stores, another unifying feature of
metabolic syndrome is innapropriate deposition of lipid in smaller depots. These inappropriate stores include
hepatocellular triglyceride, perivascular and pericardial triglyceride, and atherosclerotic cholesterol, which
may serve as localized markers of disease. We further hypothesize that decection of these lipid stores noninvasively
in a site-specific manner will provide new insights into mechanisms by which they exert systemic
effects and illuminate specific risk factors for determining adverse outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) is a non-invasive tool that can detect the pathological lipid deposition and identify early atherosclerotic
vascular changes. We will use MR-based techniques to identify site-specific abnormalities in obese patients
with metabolic syndrome but without known atherosclerosis who are undergoing medically supervised weight
loss and/or gastric bypass (bariatric) surgery. We will apply MRI to identify changes in vascular stiffness and
correlate these changes to the concentration of lipid in the vessel (atherosclerotic plaque) and surrounding
the blood vessel (triglyceride). We will quantify triglyceride stores in the liver and surrounding the heart and
blood vessels (perivascular/pericardial fat), and associate these findings with hormone levels and the
presence of early atherosclerotic disease. We will monitor regression of these parameters in patients with
metabolic sydnrome following successful weight loss. In patients with metabolic syndrome but advanced
atherosclerosis who are undergoing carotid endarterectomy, we will use molecular MR techniques to
determine evidence of inflammation and plaque vulnerability and perform in vivo and ex vivo studies to
quantify lipid. This work will elucidate the complex interplay between risk factors and clinical phenotype,
through the demonstration of which lipid deposits are most detrimental to future health. An important
outcome our work will be a non-invasive MR-based protocol that will further stratify cardiovascular risk in this
increasingly prevalent cohort of patients, and provide a means to evaluate the efficacy of specific therapies.
