Association of Metabolic Syndrome Parameters with Exercise Capacity and Cardiovascular Parameters
Journal Title: International Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Context: Understanding the relationship of cardiovascular correlates of exercise parameters to metabolic syndrome parameters is especially important because cardiovascular endurance is a strong predictor of future morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Aims: To examine the association of metabolic syndrome parameters with exercise capacity and cardiovascular parameters Settings and design: Present cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Physiology Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal. Methods and Material: 33 cases of diabetes mellitus type-II suffering from metabolic syndrome were studied and compared with age and sex matched 27 type-II diabetic subjects not suffering from metabolic syndrome. Statistical Analysis: All values were expressed as mean±standard deviation. Comparisons of means between the two groups were done using a student ‘t’ test. Results: 55% patients were found to have metabolic syndrome. Mean anthropometric measurements were higher in metabolic syndrome group. All the biochemical parameters except HDL cholesterol were significantly higher in metabolic syndrome group. Resting pulse rate, pulse pressure, double product were significantly higher in metabolic syndrome group. Three minute exercise test mean values of maximum heart rate, pulse-pressure, double-product, Heart rate reserve were on higher side in metabolic syndrome group. Mean values of Vo 2Max, exercise capacity and recovery heart rate, were on lower side in patients of metabolic syndrome group. Conclusion: Regular physical activity and higher level of cardio-respiratory fitness are associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease.
