Metabolic Syndrome is
a prevalent and powerful risk factor for type 2
diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. It is well
recognized that the clustering of risks are highly prevalent
in our affluent, sedentary populations. Addressing
these risks has always been Heart Screen’s focus for corporate
wellness programs.
The

been recognized in just the last couple of years. Our on-site
wellness programs identify this constellation of conditions that
are known to increase the risk of heart disease.
