[Controversies regarding the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases in HIV patients].

Controversies regarding the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases in HIV patients Since the introduction of HAART (Highly active anti-retroviral therapy), the incidence of cardiovascular events has risen in patients infected with HIV. This development is mainly due to the increased survival in these patients. Nonetheless, the pathogenic effects of HIV on the principal components of haemostasis (endothelium, platelets and the clotting cascade) are the subject of numerous ongoing research studies, and are becoming an argument for starting HAART or for modifying the components of an established therapy. The aim of this article is to raise clinician awareness regarding the issue of cardiovascular disease in the HIV-infected patient.
