Research progress in the treatment of HIV infection complicated with coronary heart disease
With the widespread use of antiretroviral therapy,the life expectancy of patients with ac-quired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS)has been significantly extended.Due to both traditional and non-traditional risk factors,AIDS patients have a significantly higher risk of developing coronary artery disease and experience earlier disease progression compared to the general population.Additionally,current treatments for AIDS have limitations,and some medications can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease through various mechanisms.In recent years,the number of people infected with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)in China has been increasing,and it is crucial to explore treatment strategies for patients with HIV infection complicated with coronary heart disease.Therefore,this article reviews the research progress in the treatment of HIV infection complicated with coronary heart disease.
