Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP): A marker of cardiovascular disease
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the cause of one third of deaths worldwide and this will progress because of increasing CVD's risk factors. The most basic task of dealing with the epidemic of CVD is primary prevention of risk factors. As Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) is a strong marker to predict the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, we assessed the correlat...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk and risk management in HIV-infected patients.
Patients with HIV infection are at risk of cardiovascular disease from the same factors posing risk in the general population--eg, smoking, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. HIV infection itself and antiretroviral therapy pose additional risk, but available data indicate that the relative rate of myocardial infarction is low and declining in the HIV-infected population. Cardiov...
متن کامل[Ankle-brachial index in the assessment of cardiovascular risk among HIV infected patients].
BACKGROUND Vascular risk is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV infected patients. AIM To study the value of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) in vascular risk stratification in a cohort of people with HIV infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS Vascular risk was calculated in all the patients that agreed to participate in the study and clinical reports were reviewed retrospectively. ...
متن کاملRisk of cardiovascular disease in HIV-infected patients.
The life expectancy of people living with HIV infection has improved dramatically since the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Now that patients with HIV infection are living longer, the focus of its treatment should shift to long-term management spanning decades. Diseases of ageing, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), have now become more important. The evidence of cardio...
متن کاملCorrection: The "lipid accumulation product" performs better than the body mass index for recognizing cardiovascular risk: a population-based comparison
BACKGROUND Body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) may not be the best marker for estimating the risk of obesity-related disease. Consistent with physiologic observations, an alternative index uses waist circumference (WC) and fasting triglycerides (TG) concentration to describe lipid overaccumulation. METHODS The WC (estimated population minimum 65 cm for men and 58 cm for women) and TG concentration f...
