Abstract :

Background- The present study was conducted to find association between components of metabolic syndrome with FRS categories in patients presenting with first episode of acute MI. Methodology- This was a facility based cross sectional study on patients diagnosed with acute MI (first episode). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed based on the guidelines NHLBI and AHA. Framingham risk score was calculated for each patient and it was divided in low risk (<10%), intermediate risk (10-20%) and high risk (>20%). Results- A statistically significant association between metabolic syndrome and FRS among various age and gender group (p<0.01) was observed. Also significant association was observed between FRS and various components of MS. Conclusions- MS correlates well with FRS, it can be used in developing countries like India as markers for CVD, hence it is important to look for the metabolic syndrome parameters during routine checkup in order to decrease the risk of CVD.
