Resumen

ALVAREZ ESCOBAR, María del Carmen et al. Cardiovascular risk factors in patients with HIV infection. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2010, vol.32, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1684-1824.

After the introduction of the antiretroviral treatment, AIDS has become a chronic disease in developed countries. Cardiovascular risk seems to be a little bigger in HIV patients than in non-infected ones. After introducing antiretroviral therapy, several metabolic disturbances have been observed, related mainly with the lipid profile and insulin resistance. It is due to the same HIV, the antiretroviral therapy and a high prevalence of classical risk facts. Several evidence traces suggest that atherosclerosis may be more frequent or may develop faster in HIV+ individuals, especially in those treated with potent antiretroviral combinations. This new necessity of affronting cardiovascular risk as part of HIV patients care highlights the importance of treating the patient in a global form.
