Metabolic syndrome, characterized by a constellation of metabolic abnormalities, including central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, poses a significant risk for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and type II diabetes mellitus. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome necessitates the presence of 3 or more of these metabolic abnormalities, signaling an urgent need for proactive identification and intervention strategies. Alarmingly, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome has surged in recent decades, paralleling the global rise in obesity rates, with over one-fifth of Americans and Europeans currently affected.This activity details the multifaceted challenges posed by metabolic syndrome, emphasizing the crucial role of interdisciplinary collaboration in its management. By integrating insights from clinicians such as cardiologists, internists, dietitians, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals, participants gain comprehensive knowledge and practical skills to effectively mitigate the cardiovascular risks and metabolic complications associated with this syndrome. Through evidence-based interventions, including lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy, clinicians are empowered to enact meaningful change and improve outcomes for patients grappling with metabolic syndrome and its associated comorbidities.
