Our study aims to identify correlations between the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases determinism.
Material and methods: A retrospective study was carried out on a sample of 1463 patients of which 734 patients met the diagnostic criteria of cardiometabolic syndrome, admitted in the Clinic of Cardiovascular Rehabilitation, Rehabilitation Hospital, Iasi, between 01.01.2009-31.12.2009.
Results: The incidence of cardiometabolic syndrome has a soft predominance on the group 40-59 years (61.66%). The high level of hypertension was found in the patients group 48-69 years (53.70%) and lowest in the patients group 25-38 years (11.35%) (p = 0.001). The coronary heart diseases showed a significant difference between age groups: 48-69 years (41.80%), compared to 25-38 years (7.55%) (p = 0.003). Heart failure is part of the same age distribution curve (45%, 6.8%) (p = 0.02).
Conclusions: The metabolic syndrome is a predictor of the occurrence and development cardiovascular disease.
