The metabolic syndrome defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) is a predictor of cardiovascular events. However, the significance of metabolic syndrome for cardiovascular events has been not clarified in Japan. The impact of metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus on cardiovascular events was investigated, especially in the high risk group after percutaneous coronary intervention.We studied 456 patients (mean age 63 +/- 10 years, range 36-88 years) without ischemia on stress thallium-201 single photon emission computed tomography after percutaneous coronary intervention. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was made according to the modified NCEP ATP III criteria. Cardiovascular events were examined for mean 3.7 +/- 1.8 years (range 2.0-8.7 years). There were 196 patients without diabetes mellitus or metabolic syndrome (Group D - M -), 89 patients without diabetes mellitus but with metabolic syndrome (Group D - M +), 61 patients with diabetes mellitus but without metabolic syndrome (Group D + M -), and 110 patients with both diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome (Group D + M +).The event-free survival curve in Group D - M + was significantly lower than that in Group D - M - (p0.05), but not different from that in Group D + M -. The survival curve was markedly lower in Group D + M + than that in Group D - M + (p0.005). The Cox proportional hazard model revealed that diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome were independent significant risk factors for events.The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was helpful for identification of patients with high cardiovascular event rate even in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention. The combination of metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus markedly increases the risk for cardiovascular events. |
