- - Saudi Arabia has a significant prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), which heightens the risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and related complications, yet there’s limited knowledge about how MetS affects electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities in this population.
- - The study conducted on 208 patients at a hospital in Jeddah examined their clinical data and ECGs to identify the relationship between MetS and ECG abnormalities, categorizing them into minor and major findings.
- - Results showed that a high percentage of participants had elevated fasting blood glucose, central obesity, and high blood pressure, with 41.3% exhibiting ECG abnormalities, including various types of blocks and arrhythmias.
