The role of beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists in cardiovascular therapy has been the subject of various studies over time, these agents representing one of the oldest class of drugs used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Although beta-blockers have been excluded from guidelines as the first-line therapy in essential hypertension, they remain the first choice in patients with heart failure, coronary artery disease, and atrial fibrillation. In this article, we review the major clinical evidence for the use of beta-blockers in cardiovascular diseases. Several trials have demonstrated that beta-blockers reduce mortality in patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction. …

- Patients living with HIV (PLWH) are at high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
- Eligible PLWH should receive statins for ASCVD risk reduction according to current guidelines
- Studies suggest that statins are underprescribed in PLWH, but comparisons to uninfected patients and assessments of statin intensity have not occurred
Objective
To determine the influence of HIV infection on appropriate statin prescribing for ASCVD risk reduction
