Metabolic syndrome in hypertensive and non‐hypertensive subjects

Abstract: Background and aims Hypertension is a major risk factor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which attributes to one‐third of all deaths worldwide. It is also considered as a key feature of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of the present study was to compare the presence of characteristic features of MetS in hypertensive and non‐hypertensive males and females and find out the percentages of MetS in hypertensive and non‐hypertensive adults. Methods This was a cross‐sectional study, involving 120 participants th… Show more

“…5 In the new definition, HBP is considered a key feature of MetS. 6 Also, MetS is accompanied by a pro-inflammatory state which explains the elevation of various inflammatory markers such as hs-CRP, insulin resistance which results in increased obesity-induced systemic oxidative stress and activates downstream inflammatory cascades, leading to tissue fibrosis, atherogenesis, and, subsequently CVD. 7 Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level < 70 mg/dL and hs-CRP level < 2.0 mg/L with a statin in monotherapy or in combination with ezetimibe has been associated with significant CVD risk reduction.…”

“…Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the risk factors contributing to global mortality in both developed and developing countries (1). AH is defined as a repeated increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) above 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) over 90 mm Hg or average home blood pressure (BP) over 135/85 mm Hg (2).…”
