Abstract: Traditional risk factors for CVD are prevalent in this setting leading to intermediate 10-year risk of CVD. Modification of these risk factors through education and intervention programs are needed to reduce CVD.

“…En un estudio que incluyó a más de 4000 pacientes de siete países latinoamericanos, se encontró un 80,2% de dislipidemia general y 67,9% de dislipidemia en pacientes peruanos (10) . A semejanza de ese estudio, encontramos una elevada frecuencia de pacientes dislipidémicos, por lo que creemos que la dislipidemia en pacientes con infección VIH es, actualmente, un problema en incremento en la región.…”

“…La dislipidemia aterogénica, denominada así por su elevada asociación con la enfermedad cardiovascular (8) , así como la hipercolesterolemia y elevación de LDL, son frecuentes en pacientes con infección VIH en TARGA (10) , tal como se observó en nuestro estudio. Los pacientes que no han sido previamente tratados con TARGA también pueden presentar dislipidemia aterogénica, pero los niveles de CT y LDL, por lo general, no están elevados (11,12) .…”

“…7,22,23 A study that evaluated patients treated with HAART or otherwise found a prevalence of abdominal obesity of 17.0%. 24 This type of obesity, characterized by the accumulation of fat in the abdominal region, is recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome, 25 and monitoring the metabolic profile of patients with abdominal obesity is important to control cardiometabolic risks and prevent other diseases. In this study the association between abdominal obesity and the female gender was maintained after multivariate analysis, which is in accordance with the research literature on PLWHA.…”

“…However, the increased risk of atherothombotic cardiovascular disease associated with the described lipid derangement is well know [4,5,7,8,27] and would therefore suggest that treatment with first-line ART may actually have harmful effects on the cardiovascular health of our population. Our study, by nature is cross-sectional and inference about causal relationship is not possible.…”
