Abstract
People with metabolic syndrome (MS) are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease–associated morbidity and all-cause mortality. However, predicting the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) according to different MS definitions is controversial. This study explores the prevalence and severity of CAD according to different MS definitions, focusing on their predictive value.
