The prognosis of myocardial infarction (STEMI & NSTEMI) in patients with metabolic syndrom

Abstract

A recent review of insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) revealed a rapid escalation of metabolic syndrome among Indians and that the prevalence of predominant component of metabolic syndrome varied from region to region in Indians. Studies on the pathophysiology of this syndrome revealed close to a six-fold increase in cardiovascular mortality. Standardized definition of MI and clinical outcome will be used. A final diagnosis of MI will be made in the presence of serial increases in serum biochemical markers of cardiac necrosis, associated with typical electrocardiographic changes and/or typical symptoms. 27.27% (20) of patients of MI with METS were obese (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2) compared to 2.74% (2) of the patients of MI without METS, which was statistically significant (p value
