Url http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/576344?src=rss
Description A unique meeting of cardiologists, endocrinologists, and HIV doctors hopes to raise awareness of key facts about HIV and CHD, including the fact that HIV+ patients face a 70% to 80% increased risk of CVD, they have increased risk factors for CVD, and that while HIV meds increase CV risk, staying on them may also lower CV risk.
