📝 摘要

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants increasingly associated with cardiovascular disease. Identifying early manifestations of vascular aging before the onset of overt disease is essential for improving cardiovascular risk stratification and prevention. Emerging evidence suggests that PFAS exposure contributes to early vascular and atherosclerotic alterations detectable by imaging techniques, including increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), arterial stiffness, and endothelial dysfunction. In contrast, evidence for associations with coronary artery calcium progression and coronary stenosis remains scarce. Mechanistically, PFAS exposure promotes endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, lipid dysregulation, and genetic and epigenetic modifications, all of which contribute to premature vascular aging and metabolic disturbances. The integration of imaging and molecular biomarkers may provide complementary insights into the structural, functional, and biological processes underlying PFAS-related vascular damage; however, to date, this field remains largely unexplored. This narrative review summarizes current evidence on imaging and molecular biomarkers of PFAS-induced vascular aging and discusses their potential role in cardiovascular risk assessment. It also highlights key knowledge gaps and the need for robust epidemiological and multi-omics studies to validate these biomarkers, clarify causal mechanisms, and support their application in cardiovascular and environmental health surveillance.
