    Abstract Aims: Age‐related cardiovascular diseases are a relevant risk in the aging population of adults with congenital heart diseases (ACHD). Risk factors such as the metabolic syndrome (MetS) impact the risk of increased carotid intima‐media thickness (cIMT) and thereby long‐term cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the study was to assess MetS in ACHD and outline a possible association to cIMT.
    Methods and Results: In total, 512 ACHD (43.0 ± 9.6 years, 48.9% female) were screened for MetS by the standards of the International Diabetes Federation, and their cIMT by ultrasound from January 2017 to June 2019. MetS was… More >
