It is estimated that 27- 34% or 1 in 5 Americans are living with Metabolic syndrome. Understanding it is a condition, not a specific disease, assessing for and identifying Metabolic syndrome can be difficult for a health care provider. After reviewing these suggested websites, or other evidenced based journals or websites related to Metabolic syndrome, please answer the following questions:http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/ms/ http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Conditions/More/MetabolicSyndrome/Metabolic-Syndrome_UCM_002080_SubHomePage.jsp #2- You are discharging a 48 year-old female patient recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. The patient has a complex medical history, including a BMI> 30, HTN, triglyceride level- 191 mg/dL, and shortness of breath. Which education points would you focus on related to her recent diagnosis and possible development of Metabolic syndrome.Metabolic Syndrome itself is not a disease, but a group of risk factors that raise a persons risk for health problems, those being heart disease, diabetes and stroke. In this case study, the patient has already been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and hypertension, along with having a triglycreide level of 191 (a level of 151 or higher presents a contributing factor for MBS). She has already surpassed three of the risk factors for MBS. Hypertension, a raised BMI of over 30indicative of obesityand a high triglyceride level. A triglyceride level of 191 is borderline high, that being 150 – 199 mg/dL. An abnormal triglyceride level may be due to poorly controlled diabetes. Therefore, there is a direct correlation between the two. She also has shortness of breath, congruent with hypertension that would correlate strongly with heart failure. The education points I would recommend to the patient to reduce her symptoms of MDS and to prevent further aggravating her already diagnoses conditions would include: Supplying her with adequate education…; It is estimated that 27- 34% or 1 in 5 Americans are living with Metabolic syndrome.
