Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between metabolic syndrome MS and the severity of coronary artery disease CAD using the SYNTAX score. Over an 8 - month period, 500 individuals exhibiting symptoms of CAD were retrospectively observed. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of metabolic syndrome. The study found that patients with metabolic syndrome had significantly higher SYNTAX scores, indicating more severe CAD. The results suggest that preventive measures against metabolic syndrome could be effective in managing CAD severity.
