People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) are at increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and are prone to statin-related adverse events from drug-drug interactions with certain antiretroviral regimens.

Objectives: People with HIV (PWH) are at an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Suboptimal responses to statin therapy in PWH may result from antiretroviral therapies (ARTs). This open-label extension study aimed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of evolocumab up to 52 weeks in PWH. Design: This final analysis...

BackgroundThe effect of statins on all-cause mortality in the general population has been estimated as 0.86 (95%CI 0.79-0.94) for primary prevention. Reported values in HIV-infected individuals have been discordant. We assessed the impact of statin-based primary prevention on all-cause mortality among HIV-infected individuals.MethodsPatients...

We examined trends in the MI incidence and age at MI diagnosis among adults living with HIV-1 between 2000 and 2009, by comparison with the French MI registries, by gender. Age standardized incidence rates and standardized incidence-ratios (SIRs) were estimated for individuals included in the French hospital database on HIV (n = 71 204, MI =...

Background and aims: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) is increasingly better diagnosed and treatments can improve the cardiovascular prognosis. We evaluated the long-term cardiovascular risk of HeFH using the French REgistry of Familial hypERCHOLesterolemia (REFERCHOL).Methods: We studied HeFH patients diagnosed genetically and...
