Treatment of dyslipidemia in HIV

Curr Atheroscler Rep. 2015 Apr;17(4):493. doi: 10.1007/s11883-015-0493-x.

Abstract

Patients infected with HIV have a high risk of developing dyslipidemia. Effective therapeutic strategies can be challenging due to an increase risk of drug interactions and other comorbidities. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology and the principles of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic interventions can be of value in the appropriate management of dyslipidemia in the HIV-infected patient.
