Red wines countering the metabolic syndrome

Aim is to evaluate effectiveness of red wines as a part of medical rehabilitation in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Material and Methods ― Analysis of effectiveness of table dry red wine “Cabernet” (DW) and liquor red wine “Cahors” (LW) as parts of the spa resort treatment, was carried out in group of 119 patients with CHD (36 patients with MS). Results ― In patients without MS in main group (with wine consumption) the domain dynamics demonstrate more beneficial changes in comparison with control group. In patients with MS in main group (with wine consumption) the domain dynamics demonstrate no more beneficial changes in comparison with control group. Conclusion ― The moderate consumption of red wines can be recommended to patients with coronary heart disease rather as a preventive measure to developing metabolic syndrome
