Abstract

The concept of the metabolic syndrome is perhaps the most significant development in the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the last 15 years. Prior to this, physicians often treated diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidaemia as separate diseases and did not really consider the impact of treatment of one of these conditions on the other co-existing conditions. Avogaro first described the syndrome more than 40 years ago (1). The prevalence and importance of the concept to everyday clinical practice was, however, first highlighted in 1988 when Gerald Reaven drew attention to a constellation of features associated with coronary heart disease (2) (Table 1). Reavan gave the constellation the name Syndrome X (3). He also suggested that insulin resistance played a central etiological role in providing a link between these components.
