Visceral obesity and cardio-renal-metabolic syndrome: The train that Internal Medicine must not miss.

Abstract

Contemporary medicine is undergoing a profound transformation with the emergence of the cardio-renal-metabolic syndrome. In this new framework, visceral obesity is no longer an abstract concept but becomes the pathogenic core of a silent pandemic.

Internal Medicine, by virtue of its holistic vocation, is called to stand at the forefront of this integrative approach, offering responses to one of the greatest challenges to global health in the 21st century.
