| dc.description.abstract | Aims: To ascertain the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to study the impact of MetS on hospital outcomes and to find out association of each components of MetS with ACS. Study design: Hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study. Method: The study was conducted in 100 patients of ACS (ST-elevation MI [STEMI], non-STEMI, unstable angina) admitted in Sir Takhtsinhji Hospital, Bhavnagar. Patients having MetS were identified according to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. After detailed clinical evaluation and relevant investigations, correlation between MetS and ACS was explored. Results: Prevalence of MetS was 59% in ACS patients. Prevalence was higher in males (59.7%) compared to females (57.14%). Maximum numbers of patients with MetS were in age of 51-60 years. Among all parameters of MetS, positive predictive value was highest for high blood pressure (BP) followed by triglyceride (TG) level, fasting blood sugar (FBS), respectively. Conclusion: Prevalence of MetS was found more often after the age of 40 years more often commonly in males. High BP was found as a most prevalent parameter in the criteria for MetS. | en_US |
