Venous and arterial thrombosis in patients with HIV infection

Abstract: Thromboembolic complications in HIV-infected patients have been reported. To our knowledge, no case-control studies have compared the prevalence of thromboembolic events between HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals. One hundred and sixty-nine HIV-infected patients and 180 randomly selected blood donors were enrolled. Selected patients completed a specific questionnaire and were subsequently interviewed. Information was collected on family and personal history of cardiovascular disorders and the presence o… Show more

“…Some studies have found a high prevalence of hyperlipidemia; nonetheless, its role in the pathogenesis of clot formation has not been demonstrated10, 11. Our study did not find a relationship between lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, or LDL) and an increased risk of VTEs.…”

“…Two studies have found that the incidence of VTEs increased sharply since the introduction of PIs8, 33, yet, another study reported no significant increase40. Some case reports and series described a temporal relationship between PI initiation and clot development32, 33 , while others did not11 . One large study showed that indinavir was predictive of VTEs, but not other PIs9.…”

“…The variation in observed incidences between studies is probably related to the nature of these studies, mostly retrospective, the difference in diagnostic criteria and cohort characteristics such as immune status of patients. An increasing amount of evidence in the literature supports the notion that HIV status is associated with increased risk on myocardial infarction, stroke and venous thrombo-embolism (Micieli et al, 2007). With the aging of HIV cohorts and related increased exposure to cART, it remains important to re-evaluate this incidence rate.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] In general, shared risk factors for atherothrombosis are suggested, such as age, obesity, infections, diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome. Hypercoagulability is likely to be the pathogenic mechanism linking venous and arterial disease.…”
