Background: The extent of angiographic lesions, size of infarct, and in-hospital and long-term prognosis in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) have not been clearly determined. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of MS on the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiovascular risk evaluated using the GRACE 2.0 risk score and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with first acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with coronary angioplasty. Methods: The study was conducted in a group of 160 consecutive patients hospitalised for their first ACS. Coronary angiography was assessed and an echocardiographic evaluation of LVEF was performed. MS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol E...
