Join the Southeast AETC for this webinar, diving into the reasons why people with HIV are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, and strategies for preventing and treating cardiovascular disease in these individuals. 

Objectives

  • Describe the epidemiology and pathophysiologic mechanisms contributing to elevated cardiovascular disease risk in people living with HIV
  • Identify traditional and HIV specific cardiovascular risk factors, including antiretroviral therapy–related effects, when assessing adult patients with HIV in outpatient HIV care settings.
  •  Apply current ACC/AHA and DHHS guidelines for cardiovascular risk stratification, using validated risk calculators.
  • Select appropriate lipid lowering and non statin therapies for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV.
  • Describe emerging cardiovascular risk markers to refine risk assessment and contextualize them for people living with HIV
