Abstract

Metabolic syndrome is including collection of metabolic disorders that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This study examined the association of metabolic syndrome with left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction and systolic dysfunction. Materials and Methods: this cross sectional study has done on 165 patients that by the non-probabilistic sampling were chosen from the patients in the local and national clinic in Amir Al-Momenin hospital of Zabol, 1393. The complete histories of the patients were asked, including age, sex, occupation, drugs and cigarettes. Then a physical examination was done, including measurement of waist circumference, height, weight, blood pressure. To perform the test, blood samples were taken in the fasting state finally, then put them in echocardiographic. Data obtained were analyzed by SPSS version 18. This study shows that 165 participants in the research, 56 persons (33.9) were eligible for the metabolic syndrome. From 56 individuals who meet the metabolic syndrome in 12 patients (21.4) had ventricular hypertrophy and 45 patients (80.35) had diastolic dysfunction and 10 cases (17.85) had impaired systolic performance. Statistical analysis of the data showed that in this study there is no significant relationship between metabolic syndrome and ventricular hypertrophy (p= 0.074) and systolic dysfunction (P= 0.156) but there is significant relationship between metabolic syndrome and diastolic dysfunction (P< 0.00). This study shows that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in referred patients to Imam-Ali hospital, Zabol, relatively is high and there is relationship between the metabolic syndrome and ventricular diastolic. This study did not confirm the association of metabolic syndrome with ventricular hypertrophy.
