Influence of Gender on the Relationships between Metabolic Syndrome and Left Ventricular Mass in Essential Hypertensive Subjects

Although the definition and clinical importance of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are still under debate [1], there is clear evidence that MetS considerably increases the risk of cardiovascular (CV) and renal events, in general population and also in subjects with high blood pressure (BP), even in absence of diabetes [2-5]. In some studies the CV morbidity and mortality risk associated with MetS was found to be higher in the female sex [3]. Several lines of evidence suggest that this enhanced CV risk may partially be mediated by the increased prevalence of preclinical CV and renal damage observed in individuals with the MetS [6-14]. Recently, the results of the Framingham Offspring study hig…
Hypoadiponectinemia: A Link between Visceral Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome
2012
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a combination of cardiometabolic risk factors, including visceral obesity, glucose intolerance or type 2 diabetes, elevated triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, and hypertension. MetS is rapidly increasing in prevalence worldwide as a consequence of the “epidemic” obesity, with a considerable impact on the global incidence of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. At present, there is a growing interest on the role of visceral fat accumulation in the occurrence of MetS. In this review, the effects of adipocytokines and other proinflammatory factors produced by fat accumulation on the occurrence of the MetS have been also emphasized. Accordingly, …
