What Is Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic Syndrome is a constellation of risk factors that increase the chances for developing cardiovascular disease.  According to the the American Heart Association, up to 25% of US adults have metabolic syndrome.  The ATP III guidelines recognize metabolic syndrome as a secondary target of risk reduction, after an elevated LDL cholesterol level.  Goals for managing metabolic syndrome include reducing underlying causes (ie, obesity & physical inactivity) and treating associated non-lipid an lipid risk factors.
