CME: Dyslipidemia and Cardiovascular Risk in HIV Infected Patients Abstract. Dyslipidemia is a common problem in HIV-infected patients and can contribute to an elevated cardiovascular risk among this patient group. An untreated HIV infection as well as certain antiretroviral drugs can lead to an unfavorable change of the lipid profile. This article describes the diagnosis, work up and treatment of dyslipidemia in HIV-infected patients.

Zusammenfassung. Dyslipidämien sind häufig bei HIV-infizierten Patienten und können in dieser Patientengruppe zu einem erhöhten kardiovaskulären Risiko beitragen. Eine unbehandelte HIV-Infektion, aber auch gewisse antiretrovirale Medikamente, können zu einer unvorteilhaften Veränderung des Lipidprofils führen. Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Diagnosestellung, Abklärung und Therapie einer Dyslipidämie bei HIV-infizierten Patienten.

Keywords: Dyslipidämie; HIV; antiretroviral therapy; antiretrovirale Therapie; cardiovascular risk; dyslipidemia; kardiovaskuläres Risiko.
