MYOCARDIAL REMODELING AS A PREDICTOR OF COGNITIVE DISORDERS IN PATIENTS WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME
Keywords:
metabolic syndrome, cognitive impairment, myocardial remodelingAbstract
The idea of the correlation between cognitive deficit and myocardial remodeling in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) remains controversial. The relationship between structural and functional changes in the myocardium in patients with MS and cognitive disorders was studied. In patients with MS and cognitive impairment, concentric left ventricular hypertrophy prevailed. There was an association between the state of cognitive functions in general, complaints of impaired memory and attention, reaction speed and ability to concentrate, and the left ventricular myocardial mass index.
