MSX is considered to be a prothrombotic, proimflammatory state. As such, it may be associated with elevated CRP, IL-6 and tissue plasminogen activator. The elevated inflammatory markers may be associated with increased risk for CVD and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. However, these markers have not been shown of any benefit in the ED. Rather, they should be used for evaluation of risk of CVD in the outpatient setting.<ref name="UTD reference 2">[https://www.uptodate.com/contents/the-metabolic-syndrome-insulin-resistance-syndrome-or-syndrome-x/abstract/41]</ref>

+/- Polysomnography-This is becoming more widely used in recent years as OSA has a confounding effect on obesity. If patient presents with excessive daytime somnolence or partner reported nighttime pauses in respiration, this test maybe helpful to obtain.<br/>

Determine the patients ASCVD 10 year risk

Assuming the patient has not presented to the ED with any emergent concerns (Chest pain, new onset neurological deficit, limb pain with symptoms associated with possible limb ischemia, etc.), the patient can be managed by their primary care physician for appropriate medications and lifestyle modification to manage their disease.
*Discharge with outpatient follow-up

Background

  • Prothrombotic, proimflammatory state
  • May be associated with elevated CRP, IL-6, and tissue plasminogen activator, which may be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes
    • Markers not shown to be of utility in the ED

Clinical Features

Although several diagnostic features exist, below is the most widely accepted: The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III)

  • Diagnostic Criteria - 3 or more of the following:
    • Waist circumference >/=102 cm in men or >/=88 cm in women
    • Plus 3 of the following:
    • Fasting blood glucose >/= to 100 mg/dL or requiring treatment for elevated blood glucose
    • HDL </=40 in men or </=50 in women
    • TGs >/=150 mg/dL
    • BP >/= 130/85 or requiring drug treatment for HTN

Differential Diagnosis

Evaluation

  • Not an ED diagnosis!
  • Evaluate for sequelae of associated diseases (e.g. cardiovascular disease, DM) as appropriate
  • Non-ED workup may include:
    • BMP
    • HbA1c
    • Lipid panel
    • TSH
    • +/- Polysomnography to evaluate for OSA

Management

  • Lifestyle modification
  • Metformin
  • BP control(e.g. ACEi or ARBs}
  • OSA treatment
  • Depending on the level of obesity, and severity of the condition bariatric surgery may be advantageous to the patient
  • Possible referral to obesity management clinic

Disposition

  • Discharge with outpatient follow-up
