Sažetak
Metabolic Syndrome X is a clinical entity which comprises the following factors: diabetes
mellitus, arterial hypertension, high levels of triglyceride and/or low levels of
HDL cholesterol, central obesity and microalbuminuria (by WHO criteria). The first
goal of this study was to determine the frequency of the Metabolic Syndrome X (MSX) in
patients with acute myocardial infarction compared with the general population. The
second goal of the study was to examine the frequency of heart failure and reinfarction
rate in the patients with myocardial infarction, with and without MSX. Furthermore,
the relationship between gender and MSX was analyzed. A total of 101 patients with
acute myocardial infarction took part in randomized trial (32 women and 69 men).
MSX and all of its components were diagnosed according to WHO criteria. To determine
statistical significance of our results, we used 2 test and t-test for independent samples.
From 101 patient 48 had MSX (47.52%), while in the general population incidence of
MSX is 3–4%. The reinfarction and the heart failure rate were significantly higher in
the group of patients with MSX (p = 0.0067 and p = 0.0217, respectively ). To conclude,
the results of the present study confirm that MSX is a high risk factor for myocardial infarction
and its complications.
