In vitro and patient studies with platelets to explore off‐target cardiovascular effects of integrase inhibitors [PDF]
Abstract Introduction People with HIV currently face a tenfold higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) than those without HIV. Studies have shown various off‐target effects of antiretroviral treatment (ART) on the cardiovascular system, but little is known about the effects of currently used integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs ...

Acute Profound Thrombocytopenia Induced by Eptifibatide Causing Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage
Background. Eptifibatide is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa) receptor inhibitor which prevents platelet activation. The mechanism in which eptifibatide causes profound thrombocytopenia is poorly understood. One hypothesis suggests antibody-dependent
