Abstract:
:Dyslipidemia is common in HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) and it is often associated with the use of specific antiretroviral drugs. The phenotypic profile can include elevated triglycerides or cholesterol alone, or mixed patterns with varying changes in LDL and HDL lipoproteins, which imply different levels of cardiovascular risk. Growing evidence indicates that ART-associated hyperlipidemia accelerates the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease in HIV-infected patients. In recent years, a number of retrospective database reviews and prospective cohort studies have reported a higher incidence of coronary events in patients receiving ART, which seems to be closely related with the presence of dyslipidemia and the duration of exposure to ART. Although the clinical benefit of treating ART-related dyslipidemia remains unproven, most experts recommend a policy of cardiovascular disease prevention and management similar to that used in non-HIV-infected individuals. In addition, the use of antiretrovirals associated with a more favorable lipid profile is considered. Clinical experience with lipid-lowering therapy in HIV-infected patients is still limited, but there is increasing data confirming its efficacy and safety in this setting. Drug interactions should be taken into account when statins are used in patients receiving protease inhibitors.
