Asymptomatic carotid occlusion in a young HIV-infected patient receiving HAART.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The discovery of an asymptomatic and spontaneous internal carotid occlusion in a young HIV-infected patient, without atherosclerosis, asks the question of cardio-vascular disease's mechanism. A pro-atherogenic profile HAART-associated does not fully explain the high cardio-vascular disease's incidence among the HIV infected population. Carotid stenosis and/or thrombophilic conditions are emergent problems among HIV-infected persons.

Metabolic syndrome is an important long term complication in chronic asymptomatic HIV-infected subjects under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), because it can contribute to morbidity and mortality via cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, a predictive marker for early detection of metabolic syndrome may be necessary to prevent CVD in HIV-infected subjects. Retinol-binding protein...
