FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE OF METABOLIC SYNDROME COMPONENTS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME

Abstract

To study the prevalence of individual components of the metabolic syndrome in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

The study was conducted among 137 patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with and without ST elevation. Men with metabolic syndrome hospitalized with ACS were younger than women. The average age of men without MS was 59.2±10.3 years, with MS - 56±7.2 years. The mean age of women was 64.9±11.8 years and 67±9.3 years, respectively. The age of women with metabolic syndrome was over 50 years.

Diabetes mellitus and obesity as components of MS were more common among women, while men tended to have higher triglyceride levels and lower HDL. Decompensated form of DM was more common in men with MS.
