Presentation
We present the case of a 42-year-old patient with HIV infection with no classical cardiovascular risk factors who developed a high-risk acute coronary syndrome. [scienceopen.com]

Treatment
Currently, it is not uncommon to find HIV patients with acute coronary syndrome and, given the important pharmacokinetic interactions of antiretroviral drugs, it is important to know which cardiovascular treatments are safe in this group of patients. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
Statins are effective for the treatment of dyslipidaemia in HIV infection, but drug interactions with ART need to be considered. Human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals are at increased risk for CVD. [scienceopen.com]

Prognosis
We aimed to assess in-hospital case fatality and 1-year prognosis in HIV-infected patients with acute myocardial infarction. [scienceopen.com]
Epidemiology
We describe important recent research developments on the epidemiology of CVD in HIV infection, ART-related metabolic changes, and cardioprotective anti-inflammatory mechanisms, and summarize management strategies for CVD risk reduction. [scienceopen.com]
Prevention
The ideal approach would be to mitigate the cardiovascular risk in HIV patients with specific primary prevention measures. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
