Features: The "X Syndrome," characterized by multiple changes such as hypertension, abnormal glucose tolerance, and hypertriglyceridemia, has been renamed "Metabolic Syndrome" for many years, but its diagnostic criteria were established less than two years ago. It has recently been recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Metabolic Syndrome is increasingly attracting the attention of medical researchers, opening up a new field for cardiovascular disease research and providing vast exploration opportunities. This book not only comprehensively introduces various aspects of Metabolic Syndrome but also focuses on its relationship with cardiovascular diseases, capturing one of its most clinically significant complications—the most severe form of its progression. The content of the book ranges from basic to clinical, from diagnosis to treatment, with clear headings and appropriate depth, making it highly valuable for reference. The intended readers include internists, medical students, and researchers in cardiology and endocrinology.
