Sažetak
e components of metabolic syndrome lead to generalized atherosclerotic changes
and micro- and macrovascular complications with damage to systems and organs. Consequently,
patients’ treatment with the resulting changes in the target organs is costly, complicated, and unpredictable.
We present a 65-year-old patient with diabetes diagnosed with hyperlipidemia, unregulated
arterial hypertension in the presence of other metabolic syndrome components and who consequently
developed complications of generalized atherosclerosis. Despite detailed, individually tailored therapy,
in line with current recommendations, we suggest that treatment success is very closely related
and dependent on dietary measures, healthy living habits, and patient cooperation.
