Abstract Background The metabolic syndrome & Left Ventricular Hypertrophy was associated with different adverse cardiovascular outcomes including myocardial infarction, heart failure and increased mortality rate. Aim of the study To evaluate the Relationship of metabolic syndrome to Echocardiography Left Ventricular Mass. Patients and Method One hundred patients (50 females and 50 male) their ages between 45 and 65 years old (their mean age 57 year for females & 58 for males), were enrolled to this study between April 2016 and March 2017. According to National Cholesterol Education Program, and Adult Treatment Panel 111 criteria for the metabolic syndrome participants were grouped by number of MS features. Echocardiography was performed to assess Left Ventricular mass. Results In our study we compared the mean Left Ventricular mass of the five categories according to the number of component of metabolic syndrome, we found that the mean Left Ventricular mass increased progressively, with increasing severity of metabolic syndrome disorders in both genders. Conclusions This study concludes a significant association between metabolic syndrome and left ventricular mass, as detected by the 2 Dimensional echocardiography. This relationship appeared to be equal in both genders. Top Keywords 2D echocardiography, left ventricular hypertrophy, metabolic syndrome. Top |
