Abstract
Pathophysiological Insights into Cardiovascular Health in Metabolic Syndrome
Highlights
This special issue examines some of the critical issues in our understanding of the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome and its cardiovascular complications
Metabolic syndrome is not a particular disease but rather a cluster of symptoms encompassing large waist circumference, hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance, all commonly associated with the increased prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus [3]
To better address the health care issues of metabolic syndrome, intensive effort has been geared towards elucidation of the contributing cardiovascular risk factors and how they contribute to metabolic syndrome
Summary
This special issue examines some of the critical issues in our understanding of the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome and its cardiovascular complications. Diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension often cluster together as the most significant risk factors for cardiovascular diseases [1,2,3]. Metabolic syndrome is not a particular disease but rather a cluster of symptoms encompassing large waist circumference, hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance, all commonly associated with the increased prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus [3].
