ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the influence of metabolic syndrome (MS) on coronary lesions in elder patients with hypertension. Methods: A cohort of 210 hypertensive patients at the age of 60 years or elder who received coronary angiography in our hospital from 2012-06 to 2013-01 were studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups, MS group,n=85 and Non-MS group,n=125 patients without MS. The coronary lesion distribution, number and Gensini score were analyzed and compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with Non-MS group, MS group showed increased BMI, TG, HDL-C and fasting blood glucose, allP0.05. MS group had higher Gensini score, more lesions at left circumlfex and right coronary artery, more patients with coronary lesions and more patients with 3-branch disease,P Conclusion: MS is related to the severity of coronary lesions in elder patients with hypertension.
