Cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS), also known as metabolic syndrome, is a cluster of metabolic disorders that significantly increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. CMS is a combination of conditions such as insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol levels), hypertension (high blood pressure), and central adiposity (excess fat around the waist).
CMS is unfolding as a new topic of cardiology research because it highlights the intricate and essential relationships among obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular well-being. Understanding CMS and its causes, as well as exploring new ways to diagnose and treat it, is essential for a brighter public health future.
Advancements in our knowledge of CMS empower the cardiology field to evolve into a holistic, individualized cardiovascular care domain.
