MISE AU POINT
CONCLUSION
Les complications cardiovasculaires chez les patients infectés par
le VIH ont bien changé depuis l’apparition d’un traitement anti-
rétroviral efficace. Une accélération de l’athérosclérose, en par-
ticulier coronaire, est à craindre dans cette population jeune en
raison des complications métaboliques fréquentes et d’autres fac-
teurs qui restent à déterminer (inflammation et infection chro-
nique…). Les médecins prenant en charge l’infection par le VIH
doivent maintenant prendre en compte le risque cardiovasculaire
global de ces patients. Même s’il semble actuellement que l’in-
cidence de la maladie coronaire soit augmentée chez les patients
infectés par le VIH et traités par antirétroviraux par rapport à la
population générale, le bénéfice du traitement antirétroviral en
termes de survie reste très important. O
