CABALE VILARINO, María Beatriz; SANCHEZ SERRANO, Daniel; GUTIERREZ CARBONELL, Elain y FLORES SANCHEZ, Amaury. Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in dyslipidemia patients with a history of myocardial revascularization. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2011, vol.30, n.4, pp. 464-470. ISSN 0864-0300.
Introduction: The metabolic syndrome is characterized by the convergence of some risk factors in the same subject which has been the object of interest in past years due to its high prevalence in healthy populations and in those with a history of cardiovascular affections. Objective: To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in dyslipidemia patients with myocardial revascularization. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted including 100 dyslipidemia patients and with revascularization. Authors used the diagnostic criterion established by WHO for the classification of patients. Results: The 43 % of population had metabolic syndrome whose presence was in an inverse relation to age. The prevalence of its components was greater in male sex. Conclusions: The obtained prevalence of the MS is high coinciding with international studies on secondary prevention.
