  1. Pre-Metabolic and Metabolic Syndrome are based on Inherited Mitochondrial Cytopathy.

    Sergio Stagnaro, Quantum Biophysical Semeiotics Research Laboratory

    Sirs,

    I find this paper really interesting and useful in preventing rather than recognizing metabolic syndrome. However, in Primary Prevention as well as early bedside diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome, physicians have at the best to know Biophysical-Semeiotic Constitutions, fundamental ground of Single Patient Based Medicine, which fortunately completes EBM! (1, 2).

    Really, these constitutions exist and are based on inherited mitochondrial functional cytopathy, I discovered and described - for the first time - about 30 years ago, and termed as Congenital Acidosic Enzyme Metabolic Histangiopathy (1-15).

    Notoriously, Metabolic Syndrome (i.e., all its components) is preceded by the related biophysical-semeiotic constitutions, their corresponding inherited Real Risk, and then by Biophysical Semeiotic Pre-Metabolic Syndrome (See www.semeioticabiofisica.it and the linked Microangiologia) (2-4).

    Generally, the metabolic syndrome is characterized by a group of "so-called" metabolic risk factors in one person:

    A) Abdominal obesity (excessive fat tissue in and around the abdomen);

    B) Atherogenic dyslipidemia (blood fat disorders - high triglycerides, low

    HDL cholesterol and high LDL cholesterol - that foster plaque buildups in artery walls);

    C) Elevated blood pressure;

    D) Insulin resistance or glucose intolerance (the body can't properly use

    insulin or blood sugar);

    E) Prothrombotic state (e.g., high fibrinogen or plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in the blood) Proinflammatory state (e.g., elevated C-reactive protein in the blood).

    As I referred previously, also recently (15), all these components of Metabolic Syndrome may occur exclusively in individuals involved by Congenital Acidosic Enzyme Metabolic Histangiopathy as well as by either "some" or all biophysical-semeiotic constitutions.

    In a few words, not all patients with Metabolic Syndrome are equal!

    Interestingly, such as important data, gathered bedside with the aid of Biophysical Semeiotics, since last November Quantum Biophysical Semeiotics, proved to be reliable in my long well-established clinical experience.

    In fact, they highlight intriguing aspects of metabolic syndrome, until now unexplained: for instance, only 50% of this syndrome is associated with impairment of glucose metabolism, e.g., type 2 diabetes! In fact, no one authors all around the world has been able to give full explanation about what accounts for the reason that glucose metabolism is altered only in an half of patients with Metabolic Syndrome. In addition, CAD primary prevention have to be performed exclusively in those patients involved by CAD inherited Real Risk, based on coronary micorcirculatory remodelling, wherein newborn-pathological, type I, subtype b), aspecific, Endoarteriolar Blocking Devices play a central role (8, 9, 17)
