[Detection and clinical course of metabolic multiple vascular risk syndrome]. / El descubrimiento y la evolución del síndrome metabólico de multirriesgo vascular.

The potential associations between the factors making up the vascular multi-risk metabolic syndrome (VMMS) or syndrome X (hypertension, diabetes, lipidic disorders, hyperinsulinemia and obesity) are studied: a) in patients with recent cerebral infarct or acute myocardial infarct; b) in patients hospitalized for the management of their hypertension, diabetes or obesity; c) at two years of evolution since the initial diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes or obesity. The results confirm that the VMMS, either complete or incomplete, is detected starting from the clinical management of any of its components (hypertension, diabetes, obesity) or complications (cerebral or myocardial infarct). These results and the ones regarding the evolution at two years of the risk factors associations, allows a discussion of the physiopathologic reality of the VMMS as an entity or a causal association.
