Features of myocardial ischemia in metabolic syndrome patients as diagnosed by myocardial nuclein perfusion imaging / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess myocardial ischemia in metabolic syndrome (MS), and risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD) in MS, and to evaluate myocardial nuclein perfusion imaging (MPI). Methods 140 in-patients were divided into three groups according to the diseases they suffered from metabolic syndrome (MS) 82 cases (m/f=54/28), essential hypertension (EH) 38 cases (m/f=15/23), and diabetes mellitus (DM) 20 cases (m/f=10/10). The degree of myocardial ischemia was detected by myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT MPI). Results (1) The percentage of myocardial ischemia in MS group was 81.7%, and 56.8% of the patients in this group suffered from severe ischemia. Both percentages were higher than that in the other two groups (P
