Risk of cardiovascular events predicted by the Rama-EGAT score among HIV-infected patients in Thailand.
Cardiovascular disease has become an important cause of death among HIV-infected patients. A cross sectional study was conducted to determine the risk for cardiovascular events among HIV-infected patients who visited the Infectious Disease Clinic at Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. The risk for cardiovascular events was determined using the Rama-EGAT risk score. Pati...
متن کاملPredicting and preventing cardiovascular disease in HIV-infected patients.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of non-HIV-related death in HIV-infected persons. The risk of CVD in HIV-infected persons appears to reflect the contribution of a number of factors, including non-HIV-related (traditional) cardiovascular risk factors, chronic inflammation associated with HIV infection, and metabolic adverse effects of antiretroviral therapy. Traditional CVD ris...

متن کاملKidney function and the risk of cardiovascular events in HIV-1-infected patients.
OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular events (CVEs) are a significant cause of mortality in HIV/AIDS patients. The objective is to determine the correlation between kidney function and the risk of CVEs in the HIV-infected population. DESIGN Nested, matched, case-control study design was employed. METHODS : We performed a single-center study of 315 HIV-infected patients (63 patients who had CVEs and 252 ...
