Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Risk

Insulin resistance is a pathological condition related to metabolic alterations that produce a high risk of presenting diseases of cardiovascular origin, as well as evolving to Diabetes Mellitus II.

It is characterized by a decrease in insulin sensitivity, dyslipidemia and a greater probability of thrombotic diseases.
