December 12, 2022Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that increases the chance of developing heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
You must have at least three metabolic risk factors to be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.
A large waistline indicating abdominal obesity or “having an apple shape.” Excess fat in the stomach area is a greater risk factor for heart disease than excess fat in other parts of the body, such as on the hips.
A high triglyceride level (or you’re on medicine to treat high triglycerides). Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood.
A low HDL cholesterol level (or you’re on medicine to treat low HDL cholesterol). HDL sometimes is called “good” cholesterol. This is because it helps remove cholesterol from your arteries. A low HDL cholesterol level raises your risk for heart disease.
High blood pressure (or you’re on medicine to treat high blood pressure). Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood. If this pressure rises and stays high over time, it can damage your heart and lead to plaque buildup.
High fasting blood sugar (or you’re on medicine to treat high blood sugar). Mildly high blood sugar may be an early sign of diabetes.
Which treatment is for Metabolic Syndrome?
The treatment of Metabolic Syndrome by surgical methods is called Metabolic Surgery. There is a direct link between obesity and type 2 diabetes. With weight gain, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases significantly, with weight loss, the symptoms of the disease improve. Type 2 diabetes surgery can be used in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity, and both diseases can be improved. Effective and lasting weight loss is observed if the patient applies the necessary lifestyle changes after surgery that are performed with surgical reduction of the stomach. Type 2 diabetes surgical applications can be applied with laparoscopic and robotic surgical methods.
