About this book

Studies published before the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) tracked the incidence and course of HIV infection in relation to cardiac illness in both children and adults. These studies show that subclinical echocardiographic abnormalities independently predict adverse outcomes and identify high-risk groups to be targeted for early intervention and therapy. The introduction of HAART has altered cardiovascular manifestations in HIV. On the one hand, HAART has significantly modified the course of HIV disease, lengthened survival, and improved the quality of life of HIV-infected patients. On the other hand, the early data have raised concerns that HAART is associated with an increase in both peripheral and coronary arterial diseases, creating an intriguing clinical scenery. This book focuses on new clinical and biological insight related to HIV-associated metabolic and cardiovascular complications in the HAART era.

This second edition wants to present the latest developments and the most updated research data in this rapidly evolving field.

Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This manual from Barbaro and Boccara uses its original voice to examine the impact of AIDS on the cardiovascular system. Now in its second edition, Cardiovascular Disease takes an in depth tour through this ever-evolving subject. Here, the authors look at how different courses of treatment for AIDS have different results on heart-health … . Contains the most recent data on the subject, making it appropriate for the classroom (as well as the practicing physician and researcher on the frontlines of patient treatment)." (The Electric Review, May, 2009)
