Abstract

The trial was conducted on patients with metabolic syndrome hospitalized between 01.01.2012-31.12.2012 at Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Clinic of the Rehabilitation Hospital Iasi. Patients included in the study were analyzed according to age and sex, criteria for the clinical definition of the metabolic syndrome, known cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2 or type 1. Metabolic syndrome components analysis showed statistical differences between the sexes, in case of certain cardiovascular risk factors. The frequency of cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, glycemic profile modification) was higher among women, the only risk factor most common in males was the decrease of HDL cholesterol. The statistically significant difference occurs in hypertriglyceridemia (p = 0.001) and HDL-Cholesterol (p = 0.000). Patients included in the study were studied depending on the frequency of the main cardiovascular diseases, secondary to the metabolic syndrome: ischemic heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease of the lower extremities. Association of impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia recorded an additional risk of developing CIC o...Continue Reading
