Introduction: A prospective cohort study was conducted to assess the influence of metabolic syndrome on appearance of perioperative cardiovascular complications. Aims: To identify how the metabolic syndrome contributed to increase of above mentioned complications in surgical patients. Method: Sample selection was carried out in a systemic way in the "Dr. Luís Díaz Soto" Central Military Hospital including three groups: Group I (38 patients) composed of subjects carriers of metabolic syndrome and another one (42 patients) composed of non-carriers of this condition. Both groups underwent abdominal surgery placed under endothracheal general anesthesia. Main analyzed variables were: systolic, mean and diastolic arterial tension and cardiac rhythm disorders, heart rate and electrocardiographic tracing. Results: Systolic-diastolic arterial hypertension and the cardiac rhythm disorders particularly, the supraventricular early contractions were the more frequent disturbances present in patients presenting with metabolic syndrome with significant differences (p < 0,05) between both groups. Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome predisposes to appearance of perioperative cardiovascular complications as well as being frequently present in surgical patients requiring anesthesia intervention.
