Persistent Endothelial Dysfunction, CVD Complications May Be Associated With Delayed ART
Further studies are necessary to define the role of noninvasive endothelial function testing in patients with HIV infection.

Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients With HIV, Associations With Cardiac Function
Diastolic dysfunction was associated with multiple alterations in cardiac structure and function in a contemporary HIV-positive population receiving antiretroviral therapy.
Concomitant Stimulant, Quinolone Use May Increase Risk of Cardiac Symptoms
There appears to be an increased risk of cardiac symptoms, but not cardiac arrhythmias, in patients using stimulants and quinolone antibiotics concomitantly.
Diverse Physical Health Outcomes and HIV Infection
Results from an umbrella review of observational studies showed highly suggestive or suggestive evidence for HIV and the presence of several physical health outcomes.
HIV Infection May Raise Risk for Atrial Fibrillation
HIV infection is independently associated with an increased risk for atrial fibrillation.
Endovascular Listeriosis Associated With Older Patients With Prosthetic Devices
Endovascular listeriosis, an infection with Listeria monocytogenes that manifests mainly as vascular infection and endocarditis, occurred mostly in older patients with vascular or cardiac valve prosthetic devices and those with comorbidities.
Poor HIV Control Increases Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure
Persons living with HIV who are hospitalized with heart failure are at an increased risk for subsequent sudden cardiac death.
HCV, HIV Association With Peripheral Artery Disease Examined
Investigators analyzed the relationship between HIV, hepatitis C virus, and peripheral artery disease in women.
Greater Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death in Comorbid Heart Failure and HIV
The risk of sudden cardiac death was present across all strata of left ventricular ejection fraction and was related to the use of cocaine, lower use of beta-blockers, lower CD4, and nonsuppressed viral load.
People Living With HIV Have Higher Risk for Cardiovascular Disease
People living with HIV have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
