BackgroundThe Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is characterized by a set of risk factors, which causes metabolic and inflammatory changes that increase vascular risk and may promote the development of atherosclerosis. Changes in lifestyle are related to obesity and associated diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, MS and cardiovascular disease (CVD).AimsThis study aimed to evaluate the relationship of MS components and high sensitivity C Reactive Protein (hsCRP) in patients undergoing arteriography.MethodsA group of patients undergoing arteriography was recruited in order we could evaluate the metabolic profile, levels of hsCRP and number of obstructions in the arteries.ResultsMost of our patients underwent arteriography are more likely to have hypertension, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and central obesity, thus, MS is prevalent in this group. They also tend to exhibit higher values of hsCRP, lower values ​​for the estimative of the size of the LDL-c particle and higher number of obstruction in the arteries.ConclusionWe may say that the improvement of the above parameters could reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and vascular damages what would extend life expectancy and quality of life of this group of patients.Copyright © 2016 Diabetes India.
