RESUMEN

Introducción:

el correcto diagnóstico de los pacientes con síndrome metabólico permite evaluar sus riesgos de padecer dolencias cardiovasculares y diabetes mellitus tipo 2. El incremento del número de publicaciones sobre este síndrome demuestra la importancia que se le concede en la práctica médica a su diagnóstico y conocimiento teórico.

Objetivos:

exponer algunos aspectos del síndrome metabólico (su historia, definición, diagnóstico, fisiopatología y epidemiología).

Método:

se revisó la bibliografía nacional e internacional disponible en Internet, fundamentalmente de los últimos cinco años y, por su importancia, se incluyeron algunos trabajos de años anteriores publicados en Latinoamérica, Estados Unidos, España y Portugal. A partir de la información compilada se elaboró un artículo estructurado.Desarrollo el síndrome metabólico se caracteriza por la presencia simultánea o escalonada de varias alteraciones, tales como resistencia a la insulina, hiperinsulinemia compensadora, intolerancia a la glucosa o diabetes mellitus tipo 2, hipertensión arterial, obesidad abdominal, hiperuricemia y dislipoproteinemia aterogénica.

Conclusiones:

la falta de estudios sobre este síndrome en Cuba, y consecuentemente, la inexistencia de protocolos y guías de actuación son indicios de una deficiente atención al tema por parte de especialistas e investigadores. Se debe tener en cuenta la importancia que la obesidad abdominal y la resistencia a la insulina tienen en el desarrollo de este síndrome -que, a su vez es un factor de riesgo para otras dolencias graves-, y por tanto, la necesidad de una estrategia integral y multidisciplinaria para su tratamiento(AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

the correct diagnosis of patients with metabolic syndrome allows the evaluation of their risks of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The increase in the number of publications on this syndrome demonstrates the importance that is given in medical practice to its diagnosis and theoretical knowledge.

Objectives:

to present some aspects of the metabolic syndrome (its history, definition, diagnosis, pathophysiology and epidemiology).

Method:

the national and international bibliography available on the Internet was reviewed, fundamentally of the last five years and, because of its importance, some works of previous years were included published in Latin America, the United States, Spain and Portugal. A structured article was produced from the information compiled. Development the metabolic syndrome is characterized by the simultaneous or staggered presence of several alterations, such as insulin resistance, compensatory hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance or type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, abdominal obesity, hyperuricemia and atherogenic dyslipidemia.

Conclusions:

the lack of studies on this syndrome in the country, and consequently, the lack of protocols and guidelines of action are indications of a deficient attention to the subject by specialists and researchers. It should be taken into account the importance that abdominal obesity and insulin resistance have in the development of this syndrome -which in turn is a risk factor for other serious diseases- and therefore, the need for a comprehensive and multidisciplinary strategy for its treatment(AU)
