The Prevalence Of Metabolic Syndrome In Coronary Artery Disease Patients Presenting To ATertiary Care Hospital.

[摘要] According to estimates, India is home to more than one fifth of the world ‘s population. India ‘seconomy is currently one of the fastest expanding ones in the world. In present study, patients areenquired for typical history of angina and its duration, previous history of CAD and treatment receivedfor the same. Serial ECGs taken, looking for changes indicating myocardial ischemia and infarction. Vitalsparameters, Age, sex and socio-economic status were recorded. Simultaneously venous blood samplesare drawn for cardiac enzymes evaluation. Examination of the cardiovascular, respiratory, abdominal,and neurological systems for signs of coronary artery disease complications. There was no appreciabledifference in the incidence of central obesity between males and females. Unexpectedly, the prevalence ofcentral obesity increased significantly among patients with early CAD (40 years) and later age groups(40-60 years). The prevalence of hypertension was 67.4% in present study of patients with CAD.Hypertension was seen in 24.9 % of female patients and 42.4 % of male patients, respectively. Theprevalence of hypertension was 21.1% overall in the Chennai Urban Population Study (CUPS), which usedthe JNC 6 criteria to define hypertension. In this Study of 377 patients , The prevalence of components ofMetabolic syndrome were as follows: Hypertension 67.4%, Central Obesity 49.9%, Diabetes or Impairedfasting glucose 49.6%, and Low HDL 46.4%, and Hypertriglyceridemia 42.7% Thus it was found that theprevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and each of its individual metabolic components—central obesity,hypertension, diabetes or IFG, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL were high in this population.
