Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is linked to insulin resistance and a combination of five medical conditions that increase the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Obesity is independently associated with an increased incidence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and certain cancers. Early CVD protection is crucial in MS patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The use of empagliflozin/metformin for managing T2DM in MS improved fasting blood glucose levels and HbA1c, demonstrating the effectiveness of this combination in both ASCVD and CVD risk factors patients.
