| Summary: | Aim. To assess cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) in males aged under 50, who had extracranial coronary artery (ECA) atherosclerosis, according to the results of preventive medical examination. Material and Methods. The study included 140 males aged under 50, who had cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (RF). Laboratory and ultrasound methods were used Results. In males examined, CVD RF prevalence, ECA plaque localization, and plaque role in cerebral blood flow disturbances were evaluated. Ultrasound plaque characteristics, and CVR dynamics in tests examining metabolic and myogenic cerebral blood flow autoregulation, were investigated. Conclusion. High prevalence of CVD RF points to the need of including ultrasound ECA evaluation into preventive medical examination algorithms. CVR assessment will increase prevention and treatment efficacy. |
