Study of Cardiovascular Profile among Metabolic Syndrome Patients - A Hospital based Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of anthropological and biochemical abnormalities that predispose an individual to cardiovascular disease. One of the metabolic risk factors likewise appear individually to be atherogenic. Indeed, 3 of the metabolic risk factors- elevated apoB-containing lipoproteins, low HDL-C levels, and hypertension are major risk factors. Hence, the present study aims to study blood pressure and lipid profile among metabolic syndrome patients. Material and Methods: The present cross sectional study was conducted among 100 patients, 50 cases of Metabolic syndrome and 50 controls. Patients satisfying the inclusion criteria underwent relevant investigations which included fasting blood sugars and fasting lipid profile. Statistical analysis was carried using Chi-square test with p value ≤ 0.05 as significant value. Results: 35 cases (70%) had hypertension and majority of them had hypertension duration between 1 to 10 yrs. 74% cases had SBP between 120 to 160mmHg whereas 82% control group had SBP between 90 to 120mmHg. 50% cases had total cholesterol >200mg/dl, all controls had total cholesterol <200mg/dl. 82% cases had TGL >150mg/dl, 96% controls had TGL<150mg/dl. Significant difference (p < 0.001) was noted with respect to lipid profile parameters - total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL among cases and control groups. Conclusion: Significant difference (p<0.001) was noted with respect to SBP, DBP and lipid profile parameters – total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, VLDL,HDL among cases and control groups. The detection, prevention, and treatment of the underlying risk factors of the metabolic syndrome and adopting healthy life style should become an important method for reducing cardiovascular disease burden among the general population.
