Result: 75% of total IHDpatients were suffering from Metabolic Syndrome. Among these 53 %were males while 47% were females. 91% of the total obese were having MetabolicSyndrome. 88% of the total patients with Triglyceridemia were having Metabolic syndrome.84.% of the total patients with low HDL values were suffering from Metabolic Syndrome.80.3 % of the total Hypertensive IHD patients were having Metabolic syndrome. 85.7% oftotal patients with increased fasting blood glucose levels were suffering from Metabolicsyndrome. Role of Gender, Occupation, Educational status, Marital status, Smoking,Exercise, Stress and Fast food restaurant visits were insignificant in determining theMetabolic syndrome. Conclusion: A high frequency (75 %) of Metabolic Syndrome inIschemic Heart Disease patients take us to a conclusion that presence of metabolic syndromeis an important risk factor of IHD.
