Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in an Aging HIV Population: Where Are We Now?

Abstract: With more effective and widespread antiretroviral treatment, the overall incidence of AIDS- or HIV-related death has decreased dramatically. Consequently, as patients are aging, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has emerged as an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the HIV population. The incidence of CVD overall in HIV is relatively low, but it is approximately 1.5-2-fold higher than that seen in age-matched HIV-uninfected individuals. Multiple factors are believed to explain this excess in risk such as … Show more

“…Furthermore, smoking cessation should be a cornerstone of primary CVD prevention, but is inadequately addressed in most HIV care settings in China. Further research is necessary to identify the prevention strategies that are most feasible and effective for reducing CVD risk within our population, and should combine both life-style modification strategies with pharmacologic management of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia [5, 14]. Although the currently existing CVD risk scores may not have been designed with our population in mind, they nevertheless provide a starting point for care providers to evaluate key CVD risk factors and identify individuals at highest-risk who may need close evaluation and management.…”

“…Grandes estudios observacionales de cohorte demostraron consistentemente mayores tasas de ECV, incluyendo IAM entre los infectados con VIH en comparación con los controles no infectados, con un aproximado de 1,5 a 2 veces mayor riesgo relativo en la última década [36][37][38][39][40][41] . Datos recientes han reforzado estos hallazgos, por ejemplo en un estudio de más de 27 000 pacientes infectados con VIH, las tasas de IAM fueron mayores para pacientes VIH en todos los grupos etarios en comparación con los pacientes control emparejados 39 .…”

“…Nel soggetto HIV+ la formazione di placche aterosclerotiche instabili sembra avvenire in un'età più precoce. Nei paesi occidentali circa il 20% delle morti in soggetti HIV /AIDS sono attribuibili a malattie cardiovascolari (26). Recenti studi hanno evidenziato che l'infezione da HIV possa essere associata a fibrosi interstiziale miocardica e aumento del grasso cardiaco con disfunzione ventricolare (25).…”
