Abstract
The concept of «metabolic syndrome» was brought to the forefront in the early 2000s in international literature, but this interest seems to have faded somewhat in recent years. However, this constellation of cardiovascular risk factors should not be neglected. Taken individually, they hardly seem problematic, but when they are present within the same individual, they significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This clinical vignette aims to draw attention to the usefulness of the search for metabolic syndrome in clinical practic.
