Aim: Study of metabolic syndrome in young patients of acute coronary syndrome. Objective: To study the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Young patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and its various subtypes (Unstable Angina, NSTEMI, and STEMI). Patients and methods: A total of 60 consecutive patients presenting with a first-ever acute coronary syndrome. The diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome using International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria. Results: 56.7% of study population had metabolic syndrome. The mean age of the ACS patients with metabolic syndrome was 37.41 +/-6.21 years. 75% of the female patients had metabolic syndrome and 52% male patients had metabolic syndrome. In our study 70% of patient with metabolic syndrome had history of alcohol consumption and 64.7% had smoking history which was statistically significant. Moreover, 58.8% of metabolic syndrome had heart failure while 30.7% patients without metabolic syndrome had metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was high in patients of Acute coronary syndrome. Female preponderance for metabolic syndrome was noted in our study. Alcohol and smoking were significantly associated with presence of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome was significantly associated with Heart failure and among its components, low HDL was found to be in a greater number of patients with heart failure and was statistically significant.
