Management of dyslipidemia in HIV-infected patients

Abstract: Antiretroviral therapy has dramatically increased survival for HIV-infected individuals. As this population lives longer, coronary heart disease has become an important comorbid condition. Dyslipidemia in HIV-infected individuals is a complex condition, with multiple contributing factors including the HIV virus itself, individual genetic characteristics and antiretroviral therapy-induced metabolic changes. Effective management of dyslipidemia in this population is essential to reduce cardiovascular risk but pr… Show more

“…Among the ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitors, ATV/r has low lipogenicity, as evidenced by fewer lipid increases than lopinavir/r and only small lipid elevations reported in direct comparisons in treatment-naive subjects 14,42 and in treatment-experienced subjects switched from lopinavir/r to ATV/r. 43,44 Unboosted ATV, relative to most other protease inhibitors, has been documented to have little effect on lipids, 45 which is consistent with what we observed. The median 15-mg/dl increase in HDL-cholesterol seen in both the unboosted ATV and ATV/r groups allowed the total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio to improve slightly.…”

“…Consequently, the current study was aimed to evaluate the influence of cART on metabolic parameters and estimated cardiovascular risk dependently on the PI used in the therapy. In clinical studies, atazanavir has been shown to provoke dyslipidaemia rarely than comparators [22]. Although it should be remembered, that this effect could be diminished when ATV is accompanied by ritonavir (RTV, r) [23].…”

“…23,30 The magnitude of these changes is also reflective of ethnicity, race, sex, lifestyle factors, and genomic traits. 31 As noted earlier, the PI and the NNRTI are the ART that most significantly influence lipid levels. Tables 1 and 2 provide detail on the changes that are seen with use of medications in each of these classes of ART.…”

“…74 Drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral therapy and statins Table 4 provides a summary of the interactions between ART and statin drugs. 31,75 Lovastatin and simvastatin are contraindicated with PI because they have extensive first-pass metabolism by cytochrome P450 3A isoenzymes (CYP3A4) in the liver. Atorvastatin undergoes less first-pass metabolism by CYP3A4, and doses up to 40 mg daily can be used with PI.…”
