title: [The effect of treatment with fenofibrate on the risk profile of patients with metabolic syndrome and mixed dyslipidemia treated on an outpatient basis].
abstract: The study has shown that patients with metabolic syndrome and typical dyslipidemia treated on an outpatient basis by general practitioners or specialists are those whose anamneses include IHD or diabetes and who are very often indicated for combined statin-fibrate therapy. Fenofibrate therapy combined with a single lifestyle intervention in the form of individual interview resulted in the following improvement of the risk profile of the above patients: significant decrease in body weight and waist circumference, decrease in blood pressure and fasting glycemia; improvement of typical dyslipidemia in 90% of patients, however, only 30% of patients achieved the target TG levels below 1.7 mmol/l and the HDL-cholesterol levels above 1.3 mmol/l and 1 mmol/l in women and men, respectively. A total of 60% of patients no longer met the criteria for MS after 6 months of therapy. However, LDL-cholesterol and total cholesterol levels in patients with IHD or with diabetes were very unsatisfactory; only 6% of patients had achieved the recommended level of target LDL-cholesterol below 2.5 mmol/l before the intervention, i.e. 94% of the patient sample was indicated for statin therapy. 86% of patients with LDL-cholesterol above 2.5 mmol/l remained in our patient sample after non-pharmacological and pharmacological fibrate therapy. The results show that combined statin--fibrate therapy would be the best therapy for patients with IHD or diabetes who meet the MS criteria and whose typical dyslipidemia is expressed.
