• Abstract

  The emergence and advances in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have promoted increased survival and quality of life for HIV-positive patients. However, its adverse effects include redistribution of fat and metabolic changes (lipodystrophy syndrome). These factors, added to the chronic inflammation by the virus, contribute to the formation of an atherogenic metabolic profile in…

  Evaluation of food consumption and energy expenditure of HIV seropositive patients with increased cardiovascular risk, BP.IC

• Abstract

  The adverse effects of antiretroviral therapy (fat redistribution and metabolic changes) combined with chronic inflammation caused by the virus contribute to an atherogenic metabolic profile of HIV patients, disproportionately increasing cardiovascular diseases as a cause of death. Non-pharmacological strategies seem to have a more important effect in the treatment of metabolic alteration…

  Effects of a lifestyle modification program on the metabolic, molecular and inflamattory profile of HIV patients with increased cardiovascular risk, BP.PD

• Abstract

  Intoduction : The body fat redistribution and metabolic abnormalities found in HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy high (HAART) contribute to an atherogenic profile , increasing the risk for developing cardiovascular disease . Identify early risk for developing these diseases by practical , affordable , accurate and reliable methods of assessment used in clinical practice beco…
