    Patients with human immunodeficiency virus show increased atheroembolism and premature arterial events (stroke, myocardial infarction), but no increased venous thromboembolism. This paper describes an association of elevated lipoprotein(a), a decreased prostaglandin I(2)(PGI(2)) synthesis stimulating plasma factor, diminished PGI(2)-stability in plasma and decreased high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and apolipoprotein A. It is unclear to what extent these biochemical findings represent an acute phase reaction only or a disturbance in the prostaglandin system. Definitely, they are resulting in severe hemostatic imbalance decreasing local PGI(2)-availability with a dramatic reduction in the cytoprotective capacity favouring the onset of premature arterial events seen in some of the patients.
