You may not have a single high risk factor for heart disease --- like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or a family history.  Yet, you may be at quickly increasing risks for a heart attack or stoke if your blood pressure and blood sugars are on the high side of normal, your good HDL cholesterol is a bit low and your waistline has expanded over the past 5 or 10 years.   Doctors now call this collection of "less-than-healthy" levels Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X.   Together, they can put you at greater risk than a single high risk factor.   Learn more about Metabolic Syndrome in the video below.
