Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndromes are predisposing factors for development of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). Aims and Objectives1. To assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). 2. To assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA). 3. To compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in different groups (Age groups, gender, diabetics and non-diabetics, hypertensives and non-hypertensives, smokers and non-smokers, alcoholics and non-alcoholics) among the patients with CAD and CVA. MATERIALS AND METHODS It is a cross sectional study. Out of 100 patients, 50 Patients who had ECG and ECHO findings suggestive of coronary artery disease and 50 patients who had clinical & CT scan findings of cerebrovascular accident were included in the study. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among these patients was estimated. RESULTS The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with Coronary Artery Disease is 54%. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in CVA patients is 48%. The prevalence of CAD is higher in elderly age groups. Prevalence of Metabolic syndrome is significantly higher in older age group than that in younger age group among patients with either CAD or CVA (χ2 = 12.6; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION There was a high prevalence of central obesity in CAD and CVA patients with metabolic syndrome. There is a high prevalence of dyslipidaemia in patients with metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is significantly high in hypertensives among CAD and CVA patients. The prevalence of hypertension is the highest among the components of metabolic syndrome in CAD and CVA patients. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is significantly high in patients with diabetes among CAD and CVA patients. There is decreased prevalence of metabolic syndrome among mild to moderate alcoholics. As age advances, prevalence of metabolic syndrome also increases. Females have increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome.
