Síndrome metabólica: ainda indefinida, mas útil na identificação do alto risco cardiovascular

Abstract: NOS ÚLTIMOS ANOS, NO BRASIL e em países do mundo desenvolvido, a obesidade se tornou um problema de saúde pública mais importante que a desnutrição. Com o aumento de prevalência de obesidade, identificou-se a relação entre gordura visceral abdominal e resistência à insulina, e uma nova entidade clínica heterogênea associada com obesidade abdominal e resistência à insulina, foi identificada como um fator de risco maior para doença cardiovascular aterosclerótica.Esta entidade, inicialmente denominada "síndrome X… Show more

“…These risk factors, when isolated, may induce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The attempt to establish diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome is based on the idea that these componentes may act synergically or additively to increase the risk, which hasn't been demonstrated yet ( 19 ) .…”

“…These risk factors, when considered alone, have the capacity to induce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The attempts to establish diagnostic criteria for the metabolic syndrome are based on the principle that these components can act synergistically or as a group, increasing the risk, which has yet to be demonstrated 16 .…”

“…A concomitância entre hemoglobina glicada (HbA1C) elevada, necessidade de doses elevadas de insulina, nefropatia e ganho exagerado de peso no DMT1 podem sugerir RI e, consequentemente, implicar maior risco cardiovascular (4,5,8,(11)(12)(13)(15)(16)(17). Assim, a identificação desses pacientes se torna imperativa para que a terapêutica seja capaz de prevenir complicações a longo prazo.…”
