Cardiovascular disease‐related mortality and factors associated with cardiovascular events in the <scp>TREAT</scp> Asia <scp>HIV</scp> Observational Database (<scp>TAHOD</scp>)

Abstract

The development of fatal and nonfatal CVD events in our cohort was associated with older age, and treatable risk factors such as high blood pressure, triglycerides, total cholesterol and BMI. Lower CVD event rates in middle-income countries may indicate under-diagnosis of CVD in Asian-Pacific resource-limited settings.
