Highly active antiretroviral therapy-associated metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk.

Abstract:

:The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has significantly modified the course of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease, with longer survival and improved quality of life of HIV-infected subjects. However, HAART regimens, especially those including protease inhibitors, have been shown to cause in a high proportion of HIV-infected patients a metabolic syndrome (lipodystrophy/lipoatrophy, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance) that may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (coronary artery disease and stroke). A careful stratification of the cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular monitoring of patients under HAART is needed according to the most recent clinical guidelines.
