Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on some of the new clinical and biological insights related to HIV-associated metabolic and cardiovascular complications in the HAART era. The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has altered cardiovascular manifestations in HIV. On the one hand, HAART has significantly improved the quality of life of HIV-infected patients. On the other hand, the early data have raised some concerns, creating an intriguing clinical scenery.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This manual from Barbaro and Boccara uses its original voice to examine the impact of AIDS on the cardiovascular system. Now in its second edition, Cardiovascular Disease takes an in depth tour through this ever-evolving subject. Here, the authors look at how different courses of treatment for AIDS have different results on heart-health ... . Contains the most recent data on the subject, making it appropriate for the classroom (as well as the practicing physician and researcher on the frontlines of patient treatment)."
