Assessment of incidence rate and prognosis of metabolic syndrome among acute myocardial infarction: a longitudinal study

Abstract

Background: The Metabolic Syndrome (METS) is a specific clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in the same person (abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, elevated Blood Pressure (BP), Insulin Resistance (IR), and a proinflammatory state. A recent review of insulin resistance syndrome revealed a rapid escalation of this syndrome among Indians and the prevalence of predominant component of METS varies from region to region. Hence the present study was undertaken to assess the incidence of Metabolic Syndrome and prognosis of metabolic syndrome among acute myocardial infarction patients.Methods: A longitudinal study was carried among Acute myocardial infarction patients, who were admitted to ICCU of Shri. B. M. Patil Hospital and Research Centre, Bijapur during November 2009 to March 2011. Sample size was calculated using the formula: n=4pq/L2. Sample size required was 92. Descriptive statistics and Inferential statistics were used to analyse the results.Results: The incidence rate of METS among AMI in our study was 48.7%. The complications were more common in METS group compared to those without METS groups. Recovery was better among those without METS group. There was a statistically significant association between complications and status of METS. The past history of DM was more common in METS. Hyperglycemia among the components of METS has strongest association with the outcome of death in patients of AMI.Conclusions: The metabolic syndrome is a highly prevalent condition among the patients with acute myocardial infarction and has detrimental impact on outcome Metabolic syndrome is also associated with a higher risk of severe heart failure and death.

Exploring Myocardial Infarction Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice Among Mogadishu’s Somali Residents

“…16 Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome are risk factors for myocardial infarction. 17,18 Based on the cut-off score, most of our patients exhibited inadequate conduct and practice. 53.6% of the respondents, or 168 people, said they did not play any sport or exercised on a regular basis.…”

To discuss the mechanism of colchicine in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction based on network pharmacology

“…ACI is a clinically common disease with unusually high morbidity, disability and mortality. [ 3 ] Patients suffering from ACI cannot receive timely treatment, which is easy to lead to disability and even death. [ 4 ] In recent years, with the continuous development of society, people’s lifestyle has changed, and the incidence of ACI is also on the rise, which has a great impact on people’s physical and mental health as well as life safety.…”
