ABSTRACT
Background: Metabolic syndrome or syndrome X, is an indicator of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk level. Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is a scoring system which is used for risk scoring for CAD.
Materials and Methods: This was an observational and cross sectional study conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Aim and Objectives: To find the relation between Metabolic syndrome (MeTS) and Framingham risk score (FRS) in coronary artery disease patients. This study was conducted in patient undergoing coronary angiogram, over period of 18 months.
Results: The majority of patients were males (60.35%), predominant age groups were 51 – 60 years and 41 – 50 years. A total 462 (47.58%) patients had MetS. Significant association was seen between the CAD risk factors (hypertension, DM and tobacco consumption) with metabolic syndrome. Single vessel disease (SVD) was found in 321 (33.05%) patients, 207 (21.31%) patients had DVD, 80 (8.23%) patients had TVD, and 363 (37.38%) patients had normal CAG findings. The metabolic syndrome and FRS > 20% are associated with CAD risk in present study.
Conclusions: About two-third of population had Framingham risk score more than twenty. About half of the population had metabolic syndrome. The Framingham risk score had positive correlation with severity of coronary artery disease and waist circumference. The presence of metabolic syndrome had positive correlation with severity of coronary artery disease. Framingham risk score and metabolic syndrome had critical input as a score and risk factors with presence of and severity of coronary artery disease.
Key words: Metabolic Syndrome, Framingham risk score, CAD, Coronary Angiogram, Single vessel disease.
