This document discusses coronary artery disease in HIV patients. It covers the relative magnitude of cardiovascular disease among HIV patients, current data on the association between HIV and coronary artery disease, known risk factors and how they may be modulated by HIV diagnosis, screening and prevention recommendations, and areas for future research. Key points include increased rates of myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis in HIV patients, traditional and HIV-specific risk factors, screening tools and their limitations, effects of antiretroviral therapy on risk, and lifestyle and medical interventions for prevention.

- 34. Future Research Does using Ace-Inhibitors and Angiotension Receptor Blockers in HIV patients with early CAD improve outcome ? Will the use of lipid neutral and metabolic neutral ART agents have significant impact on CVS outcomes ? Will patients with erratic medication adherence have poorer CVS outcomes on the long term ? Does the practice on induction of virologic suppression with high genetic barrier for resistance regimens with switch to less metabolic and lipid neutral agents for maintenance confer any long term benefit ?
Editor's Notes
- This data represents a large European and North American Cohort of Patients. These are patients are individuals who initiated ART therapy from 1996 – 2006. Total of 39,272 patients from 13 different HIV positive Cohorts.
- The relative risk calculated was after adjusting for age, gender, race, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. There was no adjustment for smoking since the database had a lot of incomplete data on smoking.The risk associated with lipodystrophy and other HIV related body fat redistribution may be more significant in HIV positive women. ( J Acquir Immune DeficSyndr 2005; 39:44-54)
- The case control study on MI incidences was from a Los Angeles Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. HIV patients have a higher incidence of recurrent coronary and atherothrombotic events (re-infarction or unstable angina) over a 15month follow up period. (Small study 24 HIV positive matched to 48 HIV negatives)Data from DAD Study Group from 1996 – 2001 from about 23, 437 patients median age 39yrs 34 – 45 IQR.Based on data from MediCal population 1994 - 2000 large study 3,083,209 individuals with 28,513 persons being HIV positive. Several limitations including lack of good data on smoking and family history to help adjust for these risk factors. There is an obvious likelihood of Medical Surveillance bias as HIV positive patients in care have more opportunities to have CHD diagnosed on account of them having more frequent visits.Danish Study included 4252 Residents of Denmark with a HIV diagnosis prior to January 2005; the Data was from the Danish HIV Cohort Study and 373, 856 controls. The Danish National Hospital Registry and the Danish Civil Registration System was the source of the controls. Mean CD4 count at treatment onset was 182 (74 – 290) IQR
- The data for this table was derived from 5 different cohorts DAD study data from 2003 and 2006. Bozzette data is from the VA Cohort from 1993 - 2001 which is predominantly male and has limitations for generalizability. Klein used data from the Kaiser Permanente Database for his studies the 2002 paper was for data from January 1996 to June 2001. The second estimate was from 2001 – 2006 the late HAART period and was presented at CROI 2007. The Triant data was from the Mass General Hospital and Brigham and Women Hospital between Oct 1996 – June 2004. Currier et al used data from Medi-Cal ( The California Medicaid Claims database) data was drawn from claims with HIV specific ICD codes from July 1994 – June 2000.
- This study by Currier J et all is based on a nested case control study from the Medi-Cal database and may not be very representative of the general population. Medicaid patients without HIV may on average by sicker, this may not apply to HIV patients who may have been enrolled in medicaid on account of their HIV status.
- Low level viremia in the study of the Athena cohort patients was defined as 50 – 400, and high level viremia as viral load > 400 copies. The SMART study also produced overwhelming data in support of the fact that plasma viremia does have a deleterious effect on cardiovascular endpoints.
- 2. Paper presented at CROI 2012 a group from the French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis reported an association between vitamin D levels and CD4 counts < 100 cells. In this study the HIV positive patients with the lowest tertile of 25(OH) Vitamin D level had higher mean levels of inflammatory markers hsCRP (P = 0.047), sTNFR1 (P = 0.02). In subgroup analysis they found an association between vitamin D levels and insulin resistance in white patients this association was not found for black patients. The consisted of 355 treatment naïve patients, 204 white and 151 black mostly Africans from the continent, 30% of the patients where women. Another paper presented at CROI found a strong association between Vitamin D and adiponectin levels in HIV patients small study sample size 103. 3. A secondary data analysis of the FRAM (Fat Redistribution and Metabolic Changes in HIV Study and MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) shows a strong association between HIV and cIMT and HIV similar to the association between cIMT and smoking in men and 4x the association seen in smoking and cIMT in women.
- The normal muscular artery and the cell changes that occur during disease progression to thrombosis are shown. a, The normal artery contains three layers. The inner layer, the tunica intima, is lined by a monolayer of endothelial cells that is in contact with blood overlying a basement membrane. In contrast to many animal species used for atherosclerosis experiments, the human intima contains resident smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The middle layer, or tunica media, contains SMCs embedded in a complex extracellular matrix. Arteries affected by obstructive atherosclerosis generally have the structure of muscular arteries. The arteries often studied in experimental atherosclerosis are elastic arteries, which have clearly demarcated laminae in the tunica media, where layers of elastin lie between strata of SMCs. The adventitia, the outer layer of arteries, contains mast cells, nerve endings and microvessels. b, The initial steps of atherosclerosis include adhesion of blood leukocytes to the activated endothelial monolayer, directed migration of the bound leukocytes into the intima, maturation of monocytes (the most numerous of the leukocytes recruited) into macrophages, and their uptake of lipid, yielding foam cells. c, Lesion progression involves the migration of SMCs from the media to the intima, the proliferation of resident intimalSMCs and media-derived SMCs, and the heightened synthesis of extracellular matrix macromolecules such as collagen, elastin and proteoglycans. Plaque macrophages and SMCs can die in advancing lesions, some by apoptosis. Extracellular lipid derived from dead and dying cells can accumulate in the central region of a plaque, often denoted the lipid or necrotic core. Advancing plaques also contain cholesterol crystals and microvessels. d, Thrombosis, the ultimate complication of atherosclerosis, often complicates a physical disruption of the atherosclerotic plaque. Shown is a fracture of the plaque's fibrous cap, which has enabled blood coagulation components to come into contact with tissue factors in the plaque's interior, triggering the thrombus that extends into the vessel lumen, where it can impede blood flow.

- 5. Of 24 randomized participants, 22 completed the study. Although HIV-1 RNA level was unaffected by the intervention (–0.13 log10 copies/mL; P = .85), atorvastatin use resulted in reductions in circulating proportions of CD4+ HLA-DR+ (–2.5%; P = .02), CD8+ HLA-DR+ (–5%; P = .006), and CD8+ HLA-DR+ CD38+ T cells (–3%; P = .03).
