Abstract

One of the most frequent contributors to co-morbidities or death among individuals living with HIV (PLWH) in antiretroviral therapy (ART) is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Vascular cardiovascular disease, arterial disease, stroke, illness, or cardiac cardiac were among the CVDs that over 50% of PLWH are expected to have a greater likelihood of acquiring. The pathological process on such organism varies by shared vulnerabilities, HIV Viral infection itself, or complications of immunosuppressive medication.

With this goal, potential non-pharmacological treatments, including dietary practices like intermittent fasting (IF), are now being investigated globally. The academic community is becoming increasingly interested within IF, a common procedure, because of its prospective advantages for improving blood pressure (BP), chronic inflammation, platelet-derived expansion factor AB, blood lipids as well as lipoproteins and blood vessel intima-media dimension, as well as additional cardiovascular health indicators. Because intermittent fasting has inherent features that improve the main heart disease risk variables as well as modulate inflammation responses linked to arterial disorder, lipid per oxidation, as well as ageing, this review can concentrate with investigating the possible advantages of irregular not eating as an alternatives to medication inexpensive approach to reducing the prevalence of heart conditions within HIV individuals on ART. Through the battle towards the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases through PLWH, short-term fasting regimes require must be further evaluated in research studies as a significant, innovative, as well as affordable coadjutant of ART.
