2030 patients with acute cerebral infarction complicating metabolic syndrome: a clinical characteristic analysis / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the levels of serum lipid, blood pressure, waist circumference and blood glucose and to investigate the clinical features of metabolic syndrome in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Serum lipid, blood pressure (systolic/diastolic blood pressure), waist circumference, and blood glucose in 2030 patients with acute cerebral infarction were analyzed retrospectively. Results The prevalence of metabolic syndrome of 2030 inpatients with acute cerebral infarction was 67.73%, and the men and women were 71.80% and 62.00% respectively. The proportions of hypertension, abnormal waist circumference, lipid abnormalities, and impaired fasting glucose in the men were significantly higher than those in the women (all P ＜ 0.05 ). The proportions of metabolic syndrome,hypertension, abnormal waist circumference, and impaired fasting glucose increase with the age (all P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with acute cerebral infarction is high. It is very important to evaluate metabolic syndrome in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Controlling dyslipidemia, hypertension, hyperglycosemia, and obesity in the primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke can not be ignored.
