Questions Answered on ART Safety and Tolerability in Aging Patients and Populations With Cardiometabolic Toxicities

Episode Summary

Hear from expert faculty as they answer questions and discuss key considerations when evaluating potential ARV-related toxicities in special populations, including aging patients and populations with cardiometabolic toxicities.

Episode Notes

In this episode, Marta Boffito, MD, PhD, FRCP, and Jens D. Lundgren, MD, DMSc, address key considerations when evaluating antiretroviral therapy safety and tolerability in aging patients and those with possible cardiometabolic toxicities, including:

• Monitoring for cardiometabolic syndromes (eg, lipid panels, coronary artery calcification scores)
• Approaching antiretroviral-related weight gain in clinical practice
• Interpreting results from RESPOND on cardiovascular risk with integrase strand transfer inhibitors
• Collaborating with other specialties (eg, cardiologists, dietitians) to provide a multidisciplinary approach for managing comorbidities, including prevention and management
