Impactul factorilor de risc cardiovascular moderni asociaţi sindromului metabolic asupra prognosticului pe termen lung

Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is also called insulin resistance syndrome or catecholamine excess syndrome and is a cluster of cardiometabolic factors that result in increased incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes type 2. Due to sedentary lifestyle and hypercaloric diet with an increased content of saturated fat and carbohydrates that characterizes modern life style of the population, especially in urban areas, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing, thus becoming a very topical issue for the medical world. During the years 2013-2014 we conducted an observational study on a sample of 111 hypertensive patients without major cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke, aged between 48 and 83 years, who have determined the prevalence of modern cardiovascular risk factors such as hs CRP, serum uric acid, 24-hour proteinuria, serum fibrinogen and the ratio of apo B/apo A1, associated with the metabolic syndrome. The study was conducted separately by gender in the sense that we followed prevalence of these modern risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome in both genders, women and men. We also watched the influence of risk factors related to lifestyle on metabolic syndrome. Finally, we determined the correlation of these factors with the risk of death from cardiovascular disease to observe their influence on the prognosis of metabolic syndrome.
