Abstract:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) are one of the global public health issues concerning health of human beings. Dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular events, while elevation of plasma cholesterol levels is associated with the onset of over 50% coronary heart disease. The incidence risks of cardiovascular diseases are higher in HIV/AIDS patients than those in normal populations. In addition to conventional risk factors, viral duplication and suboptimal treatments increase risks of atherosclerotic coronary vascular disease (ASCVD) in HIV/AIDS patients. Thus, a deep knowledge of lipid metabolism and dysregulation profiles, an efficient control of conventional ASCVD risk factors, as well as strengthened measures to lipid management, are of significance to improve long-term prognosis and life quality for HIV/AIDS patients. However, up to date, there is no particular consensus on lipid management for HIV/ADIS populations under long-term antiretroviral therapies (ART). Hereby, based on current status quo of ART in China and frontier achievements of fundamental researches and clinical trials, we invited domestic experts in fields of infectious diseases and cardiovascular diseases to compose this expert consensus on the integrated management of lipid in HIV/AIDS patients in China.
