Abstract
El síndrome metabólico (SM) es una entidad compleja, que incluye factores de riesgo predictores de enfermedad
cardiovascular. Entre ellos podemos mencionar la obesidad, diabetes e hipertensión arterial, pero sus criterios y definición
en el síndrome metabólico han sido revisadas y criticadas en diversas publicaciones médicas. Presentamos una revisión de
la fisiopatología del SM, destacando la participación del tejido adiposo en la resistencia a la insulina, y las guías terapéuticas
de la Federación Internacional de Diabetes.
The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex entity that includes a group of risk factors used in the prediction of coronary disease. These factors include obesity, diabetes and hypertension, but the syndrome has been criticized and revised in various medical journals. We present a review of the physiopathology of the MS, especially of the role of the adipose tissue in insulin resistance, and the new International Federation of Diabetes treatment guidelines for MS.
