The Metabolic Syndrome Collection of lipid and non-lipid risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Defined by National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III criteria) Diagnosed on the basis of > 3 of the following: Abdominal obesity Triglyceride HDL Blood pressure Fasting glucose men 12cm >1.7mmol/L men <1.mmol/L SBP >13 mmhg >5.5mmol/L women 88cm women <1.3mmol/L DBP >85 mmhg
The Influence Of Metabolic Syndrome On Coronary Microvascular Function? Conduit vessels Microcirculation Pre-arterioles [5-1 m] Arterioles [1-1 m] Capillary network Coronary microvascular function is determinant of prognosis in: 1. Stable coronary artery disease 2. Cardiomyopathy 3. ST-elevation myocardial infraction 4. Post PCI
... Conducted a series of studies to.. Study I To validate a novel technique to assess to assess endothelium-dependent coronary microvascular function Study II To use the validated technique to comprehensively assess coronary microvascular function in patients with stable coronary artery disease with and without the metabolic syndrome (as defined by ATP III criteria)

Study Two The Effects Of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) On Coronary Microvascular Function In Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease SUMMARY 1. An intra-coronary thermodilution technique can be used to assess endotheliumdependent coronary microvascular function. 2. The metabolic syndrome (as defined by ATP III criteria) remains an important determinant of coronary endothelium-dependent microvascular function in patients with stable coronary disease despite adequate LDL cholesterol control and statin treatment. 3. The metabolic syndrome (as defined by ATP III criteria) does not appear to influence endothelium-independent coronary microvascular function.
