"Traditional CVD risk factors (older age, cigarette smoking, HTN, DM, low HDL cholesterol, stage 4---5 CKD, and statin use) were significantly associated with higher risk of primary MI (Table 2)......After controlling for traditional CVD risk factors, HIV---related factors were independently associated with increased risk of primary MI (Table 2)"
from Jules: CD4 <500 was a risk factor for a primary MI, in particular the lower the CD4 the greater the risk, viral load over 400 increased risk 56% & a history of clinical AIDS increased risk 26%...the authors concluded: managing HIV-related risk factors (CD4/viral load) for MI including optimizing ART-mdiated viral suppression to prevent progression to lower CD4 nadir & clinical AIDS, as well as to maximize CD4 immune reconstitution (another pout for early ART start..... .....look at Figure 3, you will see risk for primary MI more than doubles after age 60 & risk for secondary MI goes up about 50% after age 60......history of injection drug use increased risk 29%
