Effects of metabolic syndrome and its components on myocardial microcirculation in obstructive coronary artery disease patients: a CMR perfusion study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The study aimed to investigate the effects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components on myocardial microcirculation perfusion in global and assigned to three different coronary artery territories in obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD) patients by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) first-pass perfusion imaging.

Materials and methods

In total, 127 patients with OCAD and 46 sex- and age-matched controls were enrolled in the study. All OCAD patients were divided into two groups: OCAD with MetS [OCAD (MetS+), n = 86] and OCAD without MetS [OCAD (MetS-), n = 41]. CMR first‑pass perfusion parameters were measured among three groups, including global and those assigned to the left anterior descending artery (LAD), the left circumflex artery (LCX), and right cor
