Associations Between HIV Serostatus and Cardiac Structure and Function Evaluated by 2-Dimensional Echocardiography in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study

Henrique Doria de Vasconcellos et al.

Summary: This study found differences in cardiac structure and function among men living with HIV, including greater LV mass index, left atrial and RV sizes, lower RV function, and diastolic abnormalities, but not affecting left ventricular ejection fraction. This suggests that men living with HIV may have an increased risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in the future.

HIV infection is associated with thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms: a prospective matched cohort study

Julie Hogh et al.

Summary: This study found that people living with HIV have a significantly higher risk of aortic aneurysms compared to uninfected individuals, with HIV status independently associated with this condition. Among PLWH, factors like age, obesity, and hepatitis B co-infection are associated with a higher risk of aortic aneurysms. Increased attention to this condition in PLWH may be beneficial.

Population-Based Risk Factors for Ascending, Arch, Descending, and Abdominal Aortic Dilations for 60-74-Year-Old Individuals

Lasse M. Obel et al.

Summary: Aortic dilations may occur on any segment of the aorta, with varying pathogenesis and risk factors. This study found that the presence of coexisting aortic dilations is the most dominant predictor for dilations at any aortic segment.

HIV infection is associated with thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms: a prospective matched cohort study

Julie Hogh et al.

Summary: This study found that people living with HIV have a significantly higher prevalence of aortic aneurysms compared to uninfected individuals, with HIV status being independently associated with aortic aneurysms. Among PLWH, age, obesity, and hepatitis B co-infection were identified as risk factors for aortic aneurysms. These findings suggest that increased attention to aortic aneurysms in PLWH may be beneficial.
