RESUMEN
Tras la implantación del tratamiento antirretroviral, el SIDA se ha convertido en una enfermedad crónica en los países desarrollados. El riesgo cardiovascular parece ser algo mayor en los pacientes VIH que en los no infectados. Tras la introducción de la terapia antirretroviral, diversas alteraciones metabólicas se observaron, principalmente relacionadas al perfil lipídico y resistencia a la insulina. Esto se debió al propio VIH, a la terapia antirretroviral y a la elevada prevalencia de factores clásicos de riesgo. Varias líneas de evidencias sugirieron que la aterosclerosis puede ser más frecuente o desarrollarse más rápido en individuos HIV+, especialmente los tratados con las potentes combinaciones de antirretrovirales. Esta novedosa necesidad de abordar el riesgo cardiovascular como parte del cuidado del paciente VIH resalta la importancia de tratar al paciente de forma global.
ABSTRACT
After the introduction of the antiretroviral treatment, AIDS has become a chronic disease in developed countries. Cardiovascular risk seems to be a little bigger in HIV patients than in non-infected ones. After introducing antiretroviral therapy, several metabolic disturbances have been observed, related mainly with the lipid profile and insulin resistance. It is due to the same HIV, the antiretroviral therapy and a high prevalence of classical risk facts. Several evidence traces suggest that atherosclerosis may be more frequent or may develop faster in HIV+ individuals, especially in those treated with potent antiretroviral combinations. This new necessity of affronting cardiovascular risk as part of HIV patients care highlights the importance of treating the patient in a global form.
