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.
Cardiovascular Disease
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.
HIV Infection Increases Risk for Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke
Findings reinforce the importance of primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in people living with HIV.
Insulin Resistance in Adults Infected With HIV
Insulin resistance has been identified as a key driver of CVD and other complications in people living with HIV.
Efavirenz Dose Reduction Improves Lipid Profile in Adults With HIV-1
The association of lowered efavirenz dosage and reduction in LDL and total cholesterol, makes it a possible approach for treatment of patients with metabolic or cardiovascular comorbidities.
