Key result
Among patients with metabolic syndrome, 54% exhibited left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, with the severity of dysfunction significantly associated with waist circumference, fasting blood sugar, and echocardiographic parameters.
Why the study?
Metabolic syndrome is a common worldwide epidemic, and this study was conducted to assess left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in these patients using 2D-echocardiography.
Cross-Sectional (n=50)
No
In patients with metabolic syndrome and normal ejection fraction, there is a high prevalence (54%) of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, which correlates with the severity of metabolic syndrome components.

Supports diastolic assessment consideration in metabolic syndrome; leaves open causal and outcome implications.
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is a complex disorder with high socio-economic cost that is considered a worldwide epidemic. It is very common condition Consisting hyperglycemia,central obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia (low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and high levels of triglycerides). Current study was done to assess Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in patients of Metabolic Syndrome by 2d-Echocardiography.

Sharma et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic Syndrome (n=50). Metabolic Syndrome was evaluated on Prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Among patients with metabolic syndrome, 54% exhibited left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, with the severity of dysfunction significantly associated with waist circumference, fasting blood sugar, and echocardiographic parameters.
