Treating Hepatitis C Reduces Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
« on: January 23, 2019, 10:45:27 am »
People with hepatitis C virus (HCV) have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) if they receive treatment for the virus, in particular if that treatment is with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) rather than interferon-based regimens, MedPage Today reports.

Publishing their findings in Gastroenterology, researchers reviewed data from the Electronically Retrieved Cohort of HCV-infected Veterans and identified 242,689 with hep C. Among them, 4,436 were treated with interferon-based regimens while 12,667 received DAA regimens. The study authors drew upon the wider cohort of people with HCV to match the treated individuals according to age, race, sex and other baseline characteristics.
