Background & Aims: Since the Cardiac and cardiopathy diseases are the most common factors of mortality around the world and cardiac anfractuous is considered as the fatalist form of cardiac diseases, being aware of the fundamental factors leading to this disease helps preventing it. In doing so, the metabolic syndrome as the cumulative of detrimental elements plays an important role. Because the appearance of this disease relies heavily on diverse elements of genetics, geography, culture, and nutrition we decided to study the incidence of this syndrome in anfractuous induced patients at Seyed-al-Shohada Cardiac Specialized Hospital of Urmia.

  Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, all of the patients were taken as the study cases who had been hospitalized in the Seyed-al-Shohada Cardiac Specialized Hospital of Urmia during the years 2012 to 2013 considering the three-dimensional MI and who were given special form to obtain the clinical information to be registered in the forms. They were divided by two groups according to the ATP 3 criteria or without it and were analyzed statistically through using the log linear test.

  Results: Totally, 172 MI patients entered the study among which 67.4% were those with metabolic syndrome and 32.6% were those who were not. In the metabolic syndrome, the incidence of female were more than male while in the opposite group it was vice versa. According to the obtained results the position of MI, the sort of MI, the attacking procedures background, the level of LVEF, the level of education, the living place were not significant.

  Conclusion: According to the high incidence of metabolic syndrome in MI patients in the region and country, it is essential to decrease the probability of MI incidence through making balance.
