Abstract
A retrospective person-time analysis of the randomized and non-randomized extension phases of four phase III trials was performed to assess the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in 2680 HIV-infected patients receiving indinavir or nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy, or both. The observed rate of cardiovascular events was not increased in patients receiving indinavir-based regimens compared with therapy without a protease inhibitor. Extrapolation of these findings is limited by the brief length of therapy and the small number of cases.Keywords
