Article Synopsis
- People with HIV (PWH) have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to those without HIV, and the study aimed to evaluate their adherence to CVD medications and factors influencing non-adherence.
- Conducted at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, this study analyzed data from 162 PWH, with findings indicating that about one-third of patients did not have prescribed medications detected in their urine, particularly highlighting issues with lipid-lowering agents.
- The analysis showed that a higher number of prescribed medications correlated with non-adherence, emphasizing the need for improved strategies to enhance medication compliance among PWH for better health outcomes.
Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but less than 50% have their blood pressure controlled. A possible avenue to support hypertension management is a holistic approach, using non-pharmacological interventions. Since hypertension is mediated in part by dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), biofeedback may help improve hypertension management by targeted self-regulation and self-awareness of parameters that regulate the ANS.
