  • Cardiovascular risk assessment in HIV-infected male patients : a comparison of Framingham, SCORE, PROCAM and DAD risk equations
    Pirš, Mateja, 1974- ...
    Introduction: Traditional cardiovascular (CVD) risk assessment algorithms such as the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) and Prospective Cardiovascular Munster ... (PROCAM) were developed for general populations, their usefulness in HIV-infected population has not been confirmed. DAD algorithm was developed specifically for HIV-infected patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the performance of risk assessment algorithms in HIV-infected population. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional national study that included 83 HIV-infected male patients from Slovenia below the age of 55 was performed. CVD risk was assessed using four algorithms, the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis was determined by measuring carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT); patients were followed up for 5 years. Results: High proportion of patients with low CVD risk according to FRS (61.9%) and PROCAM (81.0%) and only 7.1% according to SCORE had evidence of subclinical atherosclerosis. Only 7.1% of patients with low CVD risk according to DAD algorithm had evidence of subclinical atherosclerosis. Conclusion: Our study has shown that SCORE and DAD algorithm were superior to FRS and PROCAM. In younger HIV-infected pa - tients, even with moderate CVD risk, CIMT assessment should be employed in a complete clinical evaluation as a more aggressive prevention and treatment approach is warranted.
