Article Description

Around 225 000 patients currently receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the Malawi scale-up programme that uses the public health approach to ART. There are concerns that cardiovascular disease risk factors are common in ART patients, but few data exist from sub-Saharan Africa, and none from Malawi. We did a cross-sectional study of cardiovascular risk factors in urban, adult, Malawian ART patients, with the WHO STEP-wise surveillance tool.
