Project Summary Abstract Long term follow-up of adults has shown that obesity, and high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar increase the risk for future heart attack and stroke. When these cardiovascular (CV) risk factors occur in clusters, the risk for CV disease is greater than if the risk based on individual factors were added. Similarly, autopsy studies in children and adolescents show that clusters of CV risk factors damage the heart and blood vessels well before clinical events occur. Whether ultrasound and other types of non-invasive studies can demonstrate cardiac damage and hardening of the arteries (accelerated CV aging) in adolescents and young adults related to CV risk factor clusters is not known. Furthermore, the normal rate of CV aging in youth must be documented before the effect of individual or clustered risk factors for CV aging can be established. The central hypothesis for this proposal is that more rapid CV aging (thicker heart and carotid arteries, decreased cardiac function, increased arterial stiffness, reduced arterial wall function) will occur over time in youth with CV risk factors, especially those that cluster with obesity such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, as compared to lean, low-risk subjects. This hypothesis will be tested by re-examination 5 to 7 years later, of a group of adolescents and young adults in whom baseline CV measurements (using ultrasound and other non- invasive tests) were already collected. The aims are to 1) measure the rate of CV aging in adolescents and young adults and 2) determine which clusters of CV risk factors best predict accelerated CV aging (deterioration in CV structure and function). This study will address a knowledge gap by providing data describing the rate of normal CV aging in youth using non-invasive tests. This approach is valuable because it is impractical to measure CV risk factors in children and then follow them for decades until they experience heart attack or stroke. Using these non- invasive tests as the outcome, evidence-based cut-points can be developed to determine when aggressive treatment (like drug therapy) for pediatric CV risk factors should be initiated. This will improve upon the current guidelines which 1) set arbitrary levels defining an abnormal risk factor level that are not based on hard CV data and 2) only address a single risk factor at high level and do not account for the contribution of clusters of CV risk factors at borderline levels to risk for future CV disease. Furthermore, if proven effective in identifying accelerated CV aging, these non-invasive tests can be used to monitor effectiveness of treatment. Successful completion of this project will change the current paradigm in pediatric CV prevention from one of arbitrary cut- points for treatment to one of guidelines based on sound scientific study where primary CV prevention in children focuses aggressive intervention on youth with documented accelerated CV aging.

项目概要 摘要 对成年人的长期随访表明，肥胖与高血压、胆固醇和血糖有关 增加未来心脏病发作和中风的风险。当这些心血管 (CV) 危险因素发生在 集群中，心血管疾病的风险大于基于个体因素的风险相加。相似地， 对儿童和青少年的尸检研究表明，一系列心血管危险因素会损害心脏和血液 早在临床事件发生之前就已经进行了血管治疗。超声波和其他类型的非侵入性研究是否可以 证明青少年和年轻人的心脏损伤和动脉硬化（加速心血管老化） 与心血管危险因素群相关的成年人尚不清楚。此外，青年人CV老化的正常速度必须 在确定个体或集群风险因素对 CV 老化的影响之前，应进行记录。 该提案的中心假设是，心血管老化速度更快（心脏和颈动脉变厚， 随着时间的推移，心脏功能下降、动脉僵硬度增加、动脉壁功能下降）将会发生 具有心血管危险因素的青少年，尤其是那些患有肥胖症（例如 2 型糖尿病）的青少年， 与瘦、低风险的受试者相比。这一假设将通过 5 到 7 年后的重新检验得到检验。 一组青少年和年轻人，其中基线 CV 测量（使用超声波和其他非 侵入性测试）已经收集。目的是 1) 测量青少年的 CV 老化率和 年轻人和 2) 确定哪些 CV 风险因素最能预测 CV 加速老化 （CV结构和功能恶化）。 这项研究将通过提供描述年轻人正常心血管老化率的数据来解决知识差距 使用非侵入性测试。这种方法很有价值，因为测量心血管风险因素是不切实际的。 孩子们，然后跟踪他们几十年，直到他们心脏病发作或中风。使用这些非 作为侵入性测试的结果，可以制定基于证据的切点来确定何时进行侵略性 应开始针对儿科心血管危险因素的治疗（如药物治疗）。这将改进当前的 指南，其中 1) 设置任意水平来定义不基于硬 CV 的异常风险因素水平 数据和 2) 仅解决高级别的单一风险因素，并未考虑集群的贡献 心血管风险因素处于未来心血管疾病风险的临界水平。此外，如果证明能有效识别 加速CV老化，这些非侵入性测试可用于监测治疗效果。成功的 该项目的完成将改变目前儿科心血管预防的范式，从任意削减之一 根据一项基于可靠科学研究的指南的治疗要点，其中初级心血管预防 儿童重点对有记录的CV加速老化的青少年进行积极干预。
