Abstract

Objective: The principal objective of this study was to demonstrate the role of obesity and adiponectin (ADPN) in the occurrence of Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in subjects with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). The study population consisted of 79 patients affected by MetS, according to NCEP/ATPIII criteria, and 126 without MetS, utilized as controls. BMI, waist to hip ratio (WHR), mean blood pressure (MBP), ADPN levels and HOMA index were measured. Left ventricular internal diameter (LVID/h), interventricualr septal thickness (IVST), indexed LVM (LVMI), relative wall thickness (RWT), LV ejection fraction by echocardiography and diastolic parameters were calculated.
