CVD Risk Factors with HIV Infection

Traditional risk factors

Age

Dyslipidemia

Hypertension

Higher smoking rates

Impaired glucose tolerance

Insulin resistance

Nontraditional risk factors

Subcutaneous fat loss

Visceral fat gain

Inflammation, CRP increases

Direct effects of the virus on the vasculature, increased CIMT

Effects of ARV drugs, lipodystrophy

HIV and CHD Risk

Increased rates of CHD in HIV-infected patients on anti-

retrovirals

HIV-positive patients in the Kaiser-Permanente cohort

(N = 20,081) had significantly increased CHD risk

(p<.001) over HIV-negative control group

(N = 215,158)

DAD, a large, prospective, multicohort study

(N = 23,468) showed association between ARV therapy

and risk of MI

HAART and CVD Risk: Results

from the DAD Study

The highest prevalence of dyslipidemia was seen in regimens

containing drugs from both the PI and NNRTI classes,

suggesting a possible additive effect of combinations of drugs

from these drug classes

Dyslipidemia was most strongly correlated with current use of

ARV regimens, rather than a history of previous drug

regimens

There was a strong association between elevated total

cholesterol level and higher CD4+ cell counts, which was

present within each treatment category (PI, NNRTI,

NNRTI+PI) except the ARV-therapy-naïve group

Can Triglycerides Cause

Atherosclerosis?

Association between TG and CHD in populations is weaker than that between LDL and CHD

Trials with TG-lowering drugs have not produced definitive evidence

Severe hyperTG does not commonly cause CVD

TG accumulation is not a hallmark of atherosclerosis

Lipid-lowering Management Strategies: Fish Oils and Fibrates

Fish oils

• Known to decrease triglycerides in HIV-infected patients1

• Well tolerated and have few side effects1

• Cardiovascular benefit is unclear1

Fibrates

• Appear to have no pharmacologic interactions with ARVs1

• Reduce triglycerides by 40%-50% in HIV-infected patients; are well tolerated1

• Most clinical studies report that 1%-40% of patients achieved a target of TG ≤200 mg/dL1

• Less effective than statins for reducing LDL-C2

• Cardiovascular benefit is unclear1

Lipid-lowering Management Strategies: Niacin

Increases HDL-C

Commonly causes flushing

Can cause insulin resistance

Affects glycemic control in patients with diabetes

Should be used with caution in HIV patients who exhibit insulin resistance or lipodystrophy

Short-term use of niacin has shown to improve endothelial function in HIV-infected patients with low HDL-C

AIM HIGH: No Measurable Effects of Niacin Added to Simvastatin

3414 Subjects with CAD

Simvastatin alone or with ezetimibe ± ER niacin

On niacin TG 120 mg/dL, HDL 44 mg/dL, LDL 65 mg/dL

Controls TG 152 mg/dL, HDL 38 mg/dL, LDL 67 mg/dL

282 subjects on niacin had primary endpoint (16.4%)

274 controls had primary endpoint (16.2%)

Conclusions

The dyslipidemia of HIV patients may have different causes and proper diagnosis will help management

CV risk assessment as in other patient types

Lifestyle changes (weight loss) very effective in adjusting glucose and TG/HDL levels

Statins to be used according to FDA restrictions

Fibrates, niacins, and omega 3 fats have not provided definitive evidence of CV benefits yet
