MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, cross sectional, single centred, randomized trial conducted from March 2014, to February 2015,165 patients with acute myocardial infarction and metabolic syndrome in Punjab institute of cardiology were included in the study. Patients of either sex presented with acute myocardial infarction and fulfilling inclusion criteria of metabolic syndrome were taken. Patients were followed up during their hospital stay for seven days to see mortality. The impact of metabolic syndrome with Acute myocardial infarction in hospital outcomes is recorded. RESULTS: A total number of 165 patients were studied. 15.76% patients died during hospital stay who presented with acute myocardial infarction with metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION: In-hospital mortality is higher among patients of metabolic syndrome presenting with acute myocardial infarction. So, it is recommended that every patient who presents with myocardial infarction with metabolic syndrome should be given priority for intensive care and early coronary intervention with aggressive risk factors modification.
