| description | Background: the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is higher in the presence of acute myocardial infarction than in the general population and its characteristics are not well known in our territory.
Objective: to describe the components of the metabolic syndrome in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated at the “Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna” General Teaching Hospital of Las Tunas, from September 2017 through August 2019.
Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out at the cardiology department of the aforementioned hospital and during the period herein stated. A sample of 215 patients with acute myocardial infarction was studied to whom the analyses could be performed in the first 24 hours. Patients with associated infectious, immunological, hematological and oncological diseases were excluded. Descriptive statistics was used for data analysis.
Results: 40,9 % of the patients with infarcted myocardium had metabolic syndrome. 56,8 % were male. The average age was 65 ± 11 years, the majority age group was that over 65 years. 69,3 % had predominance of three components of the syndrome, the most frequent ones were: high blood pressure (96,6 %), high blood glucose (70,5 %) and abdominal obesity (68,2 %), being the most common association. The prevailing inflammatory markers were neutrophilia and ultrasensitive C-reactive protein.
Conclusions: the components of the metabolic syndrome were described in patients with acute myocardial infarction included in the study. |
