Association between metabolic syndrome and left ventricular geometric change including diastolic dysfunction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We investigated the association between individual components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and left ventricular (LV) geometric changes, including diastolic dysfunction, in a large cohort of healthy individuals.

Methods

Overall, 148 461 adults who underwent echocardiography during a health-screening program were enrolled. Geographic characteristics on echocardiography and several markers of LV relaxation function were identified according to individual MetS components. Univariate linear regression analysis and a multivariate regression model adjusted for factors known to influence LV relaxation function were conducted.

Results

The prevalence of LV diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) was higher in the MetS group than in the non-MetS group (0.56% vs. 0.27%, p < .001)
