Abstract
Background The prognosis of AIDS after active antiretroviral therapy (ART) and the quality of life of people living with HIV (PLWH) are both affected by non-AIDS-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the specific risk ratios between PLWH and individuals negative for HIV are poorly understood. We aimed to systematically review and investigate the CVD risk factors associated with HIV. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases between 1 January 2015, and 12 May 2023 for articles reported the prevalence and risk factors of CVD such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia, coronary artery disease (CAD), and myocardial infarction (MI). Due to the high heterogeneity, we used a random-effects model to analyse the data. All statistical analyses were performed using Stata/MP 17.0 with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results We analysed 31 eligible studies including 312 913 PLWH. People living with HIV had higher risks of dyslipidaemia (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.53; 95% CI = 1.29, 1.82), CAD (HR = 1.37; 95% CI = 1.24, 1.51), and MI (HR = 1.47; 95% CI = 1.28, 1.68) compared to individuals without HIV. However, there were no significant differences in the prevalence of hypertension between groups (HR = 1.17; 95% CI = 0.97, 1.41). Subgroup analysis revealed that men with HIV, PLWH who smoked and the elderly PLWH had a high prevalence of CVD. Moreover, the disease prevalence patterns varied among regions. In the USA and Europe, for instance, some HRs for CVD were higher than in other regions. Active ART initiation after 2015 appears to have a lower risk of CVD (hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, CAD). All outcomes under analysis showed significant heterogeneity (I2>70%, P < 0.001), which the available study-level variables could only partially account for. Conclusions People living with HIV had a higher CVD risk than the general population; thus, CVD prevention in PLWH requires further attention. Rapid initiation of ART may reduce the incidence of CVD in PLWH. For timely screening of CVD high-risk individuals and thorough disease management to prevent CVD, further studies are required to evaluate the risk factors for CVD among PLWH, such as age, region, etc. Registration PROSPERO (CRD42021255508).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE With antiretroviral therapy, people with HIV (PWH) are developing age-related diseases, including peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study examined frequency and outcomes of peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) and primary amputation in PWH. DESIGN We used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to examine demographics, comorbidities, and temporal trends among PVI and primary amputation admissions by HIV status from 2012 to 2018. METHODS Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to calculate adjusted odds of in-hospital death and amputation. Cost of hospitalization and length of stay were compared by HIV status and revascularization approach. RESULTS Of the 347 824 hospitalizations for PVI/amputation, 0.6% were PWH, which was stable over time. PWH had more renal and hepatic disease, whereas uninfected individuals had more traditional PAD risk factors. 55.2% of HIV+ admissions were endovascular compared with 49.3% in HIV- admissions, and 28.9% of the HIV+ admissions were elective compared with 42.1% among HIV-. HIV status did not impact amputation following PVI. In-hospital death was similar between groups following PVI or primary amputation. PWH had lower costs of hospitalization and a trend towards shorter hospital stays. CONCLUSION Although PWH are developing more age-related chronic illnesses, the number of PAD-associated procedures has remained flat. Despite being younger with fewer traditional PAD risk factors, PWH had higher rates of unplanned PVI admissions and endovascular revascularization but similar in-hospital outcomes. These findings suggest PWH have different risk factors for PAD and are likely underdiagnosed and undertreated, whereas those who are treated have similar outcomes to the general population.

Abstract
Current evidence suggests that mild cerebrovascular changes could induce neurodegeneration and contribute to HIV-associated neurocognitive disease (HAND) in HIV patients. We investigated both the quantitative and qualitative impact of HIV infection on brain microvessels, especially on hippocampal microvessels, which are crucial for optimal O2 supply, and thus for maintaining memory and cognitive abilities. The results obtained using cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) were reproduced using a suitable mouse model and autopsied human HIV hippocampus. In HBMEC, we found significantly higher oxidative stress-dependent apoptotic cell loss following 5 h of treatment of GST-Tat (1 µg/ml) compared to GST (1 µg/ml) control. We noticed complete recovery of HBMEC cells after 24 h of GST-Tat treatment, due to temporal degradation or inactivation of GST-Tat. Interestingly, we found a sustained increase in mitochondrial oxidative DNA damage marker 8-OHdG, as well as an increase in hypoxia-inducible factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α). In our mouse studies, upon short-term injection of GST-Tat, we found the loss of small microvessels (mostly capillaries) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but not large microvessels (arterioles and venules) in the hippocampus. In addition to capillary loss, in the post-mortem HIV-infected human hippocampus, we observed large microvessels with increased wall cells and perivascular tissue degeneration. Together, our data show a crucial role of Tat in inducing HIF-1α-dependent inhibition of mitochondrial transcriptional factor A (TFAM) and dilated perivascular space. Thus, our results further define the underlying molecular mechanism promoting mild cerebrovascular disease, neuropathy, and HAND pathogenesis in HIV patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerosis is common in people with HIV (PWH). Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the peripheral manifestation of atherosclerosis, but little is known about the incidence of PAD in PWH. Our objective was to determine the PAD incidence in PWH and to investigate potential risk factors. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal study on PWH from the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection (COCOMO) study cohort. METHODS We performed ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurements at study entry and at 2-year follow-up and included participants with normal ABI at study entry. We defined de novo PAD as ABI ≤0.9 at follow-up. Using Poisson regression adjusted for age, sex, and smoking, we investigated the role of traditional and HIV-related risk factors, including inflammatory markers. RESULTS Of 844 PWH followed for a median duration of 2.3 years, 30 (3.6%) developed de novo PAD. All cases were subclinical. Diabetes (relative risk [RR] = 4.90 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.99-12.1]), current CD4 count <350 cells/μl (2.66 [1.06-6.71]), longer duration of antiretroviral therapy (antiretroviral therapy [ART], 1.88 [1.06-3.33] per decade), and concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (1.33 [1.08-1.63] per doubling) and interleukin-6 (1.38 [1.06-1.80] per doubling), were associated with de novo PAD. CONCLUSIONS PWH had a high incidence of de novo subclinical PAD. Diabetes, low current CD4 count, duration of ART, and inflammatory markers were associated with de novo PAD, indicating a possible role in PAD pathogenesis in PWH.

Symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus infection is associated with advanced presentation and perioperative mortality in patients undergoing surgery for peripheral arterial disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prior studies have demonstrated an increased risk of developing cardiovascular and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the effect of chronic HIV infection in patients with preexisting PAD and requiring vascular intervention is unclear. In the present study, we assessed the differences in clinical presentation and perioperative outcomes for patients with PAD who had undergone revascularization or amputation with and without HIV infection. METHODS International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th Revisions, Clinical Modification, codes were used to identify patients with a prior diagnosis of PAD who had undergone lower extremity revascularization or amputation in the National Inpatient Sample (2003-2017). From this group, the patients were divided for analysis into those with and without HIV infection. Of the patients with HIV infection (PWHs), we identified additional subsets of patients: those with any prior or current diagnosis of an HIV-related illness, including acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, designated as symptomatic HIV, and those without such a diagnosis, designated as asymptomatic HIV infection. Propensity score matching was performed to create matched cohorts. Population-based comparative analyses were performed of the clinical characteristics of the HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of the perioperative in-hospital outcomes were performed on the matched cohorts. RESULTS A total of 224,912 patients aged 18 to 85 years were identified who had been admitted with an established diagnosis of PAD and had undergone a lower extremity procedure. Of these patients, 1264 (0.56%) also had a diagnosis of HIV infection. Symptomatic PWHs were more likely to present with critical limb ischemia than were the HIV-uninfected patients or asymptomatic PWHs (66.2% vs 46.3% and 43.6%; P < .01). However, both asymptomatic and symptomatic PWHs were more likely to have required minor (7.5% and 6.7% vs 2.6%; P < .01) and major (12.9% and 27.4% vs 7.0%; P < .01) amputations than were matched HIV-uninfected controls. Although adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated symptomatic HIV infection to be a significant, independent predictor of in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 2.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.37-4.40; P = .003), the perioperative mortality for the asymptomatic PWH was comparable to that of matched HIV-uninfected controls. CONCLUSIONS Symptomatic PWHs, including patients living with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, who had required a PAD-related procedure had presented with more advanced vascular disease and were most at risk of early perioperative mortality. However, the presentation and mortality between asymptomatic PWHs with well-controlled disease and HIV-uninfected patients were comparable. All PWHs with PAD were more likely to undergo lower extremity amputations than were HIV-uninfected matched controls. Asymptomatic, well-controlled HIV infection should not be a contraindication to elective PAD-related procedures because the mortality was similar to that of HIV-uninfected controls. However, the limb salvage rates might be lower for all PWHs with PAD, regardless of HIV disease severity. Taken together, these findings can improve perioperative risk stratification and surgical management of PAD in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Treatment of HIV infection is a lifelong process and associated with chronic diseases. We evaluated the prevalence and predictors of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) with individual antiretroviral drugs exposure among HIV-infected men in Taiwan. A total of 200 patients’ data were collected with a mean age of 32.9. Among them, those who had CD4 positive cell number less than 350/mL were eligible to have highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Patients were divided into group-1 that contains 45 treatment-naïve participants, and group-2 that includes 155 HAART treatment-experienced participants. MetS prevalence between group-1 and group-2 was 18% and 31%, respectively. The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) for the naïve and experienced groups were 4.7 ± 4.2 and 3.87 ± 5.92, respectively. High triglyceride (TG > 150 mg/dL) in group-1 and group-2 were 15.6% and 36.6% (p < 0.05), whereas, lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL < 39 mg/dL) in group-1 and group-2 presented as 76.7% versus 51% (p < 0.05), respectively. In group-2, treatment with protease inhibitors (PIs) resulted in higher TG levels when compared with non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and integrase inhibitors (InSTIs). The prevalence of MetS in the treatment-naïve group was lower than that of the treatment-experienced group; high TG level resulted in higher MetS prevalence in the treatment-experienced group. In contrast, the cardiovascular risk of FRS in the treatment-naïve group was higher than that of the treatment-experienced group, which may result from the low HDL level. Although group-1 participants have a higher risk of developing CVDs, in group-2, an increasing TG level in PIs user indicated higher CVDs risk. TG and HDL are two significant biofactors that required regular evaluation in HIV-positive individuals.

Abstract
Chronic immune activation persists in persons living with HIV-1 even though they are aviremic under antiretroviral therapy, and fuels comorbidities. In previous studies, we have revealed that virologic responders present distinct profiles of immune activation, and that one of these profiles is related to microbial translocation. In the present work, we tested in 140 HIV-1-infected adults under efficient treatment for a mean duration of eight years whether low-level viremia might be another cause of immune activation. We observed that the frequency of viremia between 1 and 20 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (39.5 ± 24.7% versus 21.1 ± 22.5%, p = 0.033) and transient viremia above 20 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (15.1 ± 16.9% versus 3.3 ± 7.2%, p = 0.005) over the 2 last years was higher in patients with one profile of immune activation, Profile E, than in the other patients. Profile E, which is different from the profile related to microbial translocation with frequent CD38+ CD8+ T cells, is characterized by a high level of CD4+ T cell (cell surface expression of CD38), monocyte (plasma concentration of soluble CD14), and endothelium (plasma concentration of soluble Endothelial Protein C Receptor) activation, whereas the other profiles presented low CD4:CD8 ratio, elevated proportions of central memory CD8+ T cells or HLA-DR+ CD4+ T cells, respectively. Our data reinforce the hypothesis that various etiological factors shape the form of the immune activation in virologic responders, resulting in specific profiles. Given the type of immune activation of Profile E, a potential causal link between low-level viremia and atherosclerosis should be investigated.

Abstract
ABSTARCTIntroduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be an essential cause of morbidity and mortality among people living with human immunodeficiency virus infection (PLWH). Since the bulk of cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors are shared between PLWH and the general population, prevention and treatment strategies are similar. However, there are CVR factors particular to PLWH, which need separate consideration. These factors are those HIV-dependent, those related to HIV-derived consequences, and combination antiretroviral therapy (cART)-dependent.Areas covered: In this review, the authors discuss the management of CVD in PLWH, with a special interest in pharmacological treatment and drug-drug interactions with cART.Expert opinion: In recent years, we have witnessed a decreased CVD morbidity and mortality in PLWH, which probably reflects an improvement in the management of CVR factors and CVD in these patients, partially thanks to new developments in antiretroviral therapy. Therefore, although there is still room for improvement, at present, the old desideratum of equaling PLWH and the general population in terms of CVD incidence and prognosis is a little closer.

Abstract
Objective Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTI) have been associated with weight gain, but their effect on short-term overweight and obesity incidence, blood pressure (BP), and metabolic markers has not been described in treatment-naïve people with HIV(PWH). Method Medical records of treatment-naïve persons starting antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the HIV Clinic of University Hospital of Elche, Spain, between January 2007 and July 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Standard procedures included measurements of weight, BP, and metabolic assessment. Data at baseline, 48, 72, and 96 weeks post ART initiation were analyzed. We used Cox mixed-effects model to generate predictions of body mass index (BMI) over time and generalized additive mixed models to relax the linearity assumptions and generate 95% confidence intervals in the multivariable adjustment. Results Among 219 (median age, 44.0 years; interquartile range [IQR], 37.0-53.5; 46 females) participants. Baseline weight mean (standard deviation) was 70.4 (13.7) kg without difference between regimens; 66% had a BMI <25 kg/mt2. The incidence of overweight and obesity was significantly greater in persons starting INSTI-based regimens: 15 (36.6%) of 41 patients treated with INSTI versus 30 (28.9%) of 104 treated with other ART regimens (hazard ratio, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.2-4.4; P = .011). In contrast to other ART regimens, patients treated with INSTI showed a significant increase in systolic BP (SBP) (adjusted increase, 7.0 mmHg; 95% CI, 0.3-13.7; P = .039) that was correlated with weight gain (r = 0.13; 95% CI, 0.10-0.16; P < .001). Patients who reached overweight and obesity in INSTI-based ART showed a significant increase in LDL cholesterol. Conclusions Integrase strand transfer inhibitors-based ART was associated in the short-term with a greater risk of overweight and obesity and SBP elevation. Patients developing overweight and obesity increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with no other metabolic disturbances.

[PMID: 31629845 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2019.09.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2019] [Revised: 08/23/2019] [Accepted: 09/15/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND HIV infection may affect the cardiovascular system through different physiopathological patterns. Rarely reported in HIV negative patients, aneurysms involving the carotid artery have been described for the first time in seropositive patients in 1989. AIMS In our study, we have focused on aneurysm pathology affecting carotid arteries in HIV patients, analyzing clinical and surgical presentation, management, and outcome, through a review of cases published in the literature. METHODS The MEDLINE (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) database was reviewed for "carotid artery aneurysm AND HIV OR AIDS OR immunodeficiency." RESULTS Nineteen articles including a total of 46 cases were included in our report. The mean age of patients was 30.6 ± 14.2 years; 30 patients (65.2%) were male. Aneurysms were localized in the intracranial carotid (41.3%) or extracranial artery (58%). Presenting features included symptoms due to compression of neck structures; positivity for neurological symptoms occurred in 36.9%. Patients were managed surgically in 58.7% of cases; surgical morbidity and mortality were of 22.2% and 7.4% respectively, higher for endovascular procedures. The overall mortality in treated and untreated cases was 26.1%. CONCLUSIONS Aneurysms may occur in both the extracranial and intracranial carotid artery in patients with HIV at younger age than in non-HIV patients and are linked to a high morbidity and mortality. Seropositivity must be ruled out whenever this rare vascular condition may occur in the absence of a more likely aetiology and must also be suspected in HIV patients presenting with compressive symptoms of the neck, neurological impairment or stroke.
