Increased coronary heart disease rates in the HIV population, as in the noninfected population, may be related to traditional risk factors, includin...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk and risk management in HIV-infected patients.
Patients with HIV infection are at risk of cardiovascular disease from the same factors posing risk in the general population--eg, smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. HIV infection itself and antiretroviral therapy pose additional risk, but available data indicate that the relative rate of myocardial infarction is low and declining in the HIV-infected population. Cardiov...
متن کاملCardiovascular Disease-Risk Markers in HIV Patients
