Metabolic syndrome: the danger signal in atherosclerosis.

Vascular health and risk management - 1 Jan 2006

Mathieu Patrick, Pibarot Philippe, Després Jean-Pierre

Abstract excerpt

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by infiltration of blood vessels by lipids and leukocytes. There is a growing body of evidence that among risk factors that promote atherosclerosis, the metabolic syndrome is a powerful and prevalent predictor of cardiovascular events. The systemic inflammatory process associated with the metabolic syndrome has numerous deleterious effects that...
