Figure 1. Algorithm for monitoring and managing cardio-metabolic disorders in patients with HIV infection.

ART - antiretroviral therapy; BMI - body mass index; BP - blood pressure; CV - cardiovascular; ECG - electrocardiogram; PLWH - people living with HIV.

*If there are any HIV-related CVD-risk enhancers, the risk may be greater than calculated.

Blue arrows represent the steps that can be managed by the ID specialist; red arrows represent enhanced collaboration with the cardiologist and/or diabetologist in higher risk patients for adequate monitoring and treatment.
