Prevalence of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Metabolic Syndrome as Assessed by Echocardiography

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is a complex disorderwith high socio-economic cost that is considered aworldwide epidemic. It is very common condition Consistinghyperglycemia,central obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia(low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and high levels of triglycerides). Current study was done toassess Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in patients ofMetabolic Syndrome by 2d- Echocardiography.Material and methods: In this study my aim is to find outthe prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction inmetabolic syndrome and to highlight the importance ofprimary prevention in metabolic syndrome. The Presentstudy is cross-sectional observational study carried out atCSS Hospital Subharti medical college Meerut UP, consistingof 50 patients having metabolic syndrome according to thecriteria of International Diabetic Federation and to look forthere LVDD via 2d- Echocardiography.Results: The left ventricular diastolic dysfunction grade isassociated with the number of characteristics of metabolicsyndrome. Waist circumference, FBS, E/A, IVRT, Decelerationtime, E/e’ showed a statistically significant association (p value<0.01) with the degree of diastolic dysfunction.Conclusion: The current study showed that, metabolicsyndrome group have an associated abnormal left ventriclediastolic performance So the patients with metabolic syndromeshould receive aggressive therapy to avoid occurrence of heartfailure in the future.
