  Background: Presence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) has been shown to predict higher risk for cardiovascular diseases. However, in patients with ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), prognostic importance of MetS has not been widely studied. Methods: We prospectively recruited 611 STEMI patients (521 male, 90 female) who were treated by primary angioplasty. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to the International Diabetes Federation metabolic syndrome worldwide definition. Coronary angiographic data and in-hospital events of individuals were recorded. Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) included cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization. Results: Metabolic syndrome group included 276 (45.1% of the study cohort; mean age 56.8 ± 12.2; 210 male) and control group included 335 su.. View More»
