	Metabolic syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metabolic syndrome is a combination of medical disorders that affect a large number of people in a clustered fashion.
		Cardiac syndrome X - this term is now mainly used for a type of angina pectoris where there is cardiac ischemia on exercise testing but no causative atherosclerosis on a coronary angiogram.
		The term "metabolic syndrome" dates back to at least the late 1950's, but came into common usage in the late 1970's to describe various associations of risk factors, some of which had been noted as early as the 1920's.
