| Summary: | Metabolic syndrome is an association of several disease entities that are grouped under this name, the most frequent being: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and obesity. The objective was to argue the pathophysiological mechanisms of association between the metabolic syndrome and arterial hypertension. For this, a total of 29 bibliographic sources were consulted, including articles from scientific journals, 3 books and others accessed through the main managers of the computer network. Hypertension and dyslipidemia often occur together and also accompany resistance to insulin-stimulated glucose uptake; factors that often accompany obesity. These are criteria that help diagnose metabolic syndrome. The metabolic disorders associated with arterial hypertension play a key role in its appearance and maintenance, and modify the long-term prognosis in hypertensive patients and alter the therapeutic strategy. |
