Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter clinical trial of a cross section of HIV+ patients with and without diastolic dysfunction. Approximately 200 HAART-treated virally suppressed HIV+ subjects (100 HIV+/DD+ \& 100 HIV+/DD-) will be enrolled. This study will evaluate biomarkers, phenomapping, metabolomics, cMRI, echocardiography to determine characteristics unique to this patient population.
Detailed Description:
With the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), human immuno¬deficiency virus (HIV) type 1 infection has become a chronic disease. The proportion of patients expected to survive 5, 10, and 15 years after conversion in the HAART era are 99%, 93% and 89% respectively. With increased life expectancy and decreased morbidity from opportunistic infections, the importance of chronic complications associated with HIV-1 infection, including HF is becoming more evident. The advent of HAART has altered the epidemiology of HIV associated cardiomyopathy evolving from a primarily left ventricular systolic dysfunction to the growing recognition of left ventricular DD. DD is associated with the development of atrial fibrillation and heart failure (HF), and portends higher risk for all-cause mortality. Thus there is a widespread prevalence of cardiac abnormalities in HIV infected individuals that are associated with HF development and may represent a sub-clinical abnormality that may be potentially intervened upon to reduce the risk of subsequent HF. There are little data to understand the natural history and pathogenesis of cardiac abnormalities, specifically DD in HIV+ individuals, which may adversely affect the longevity and quality of life of these individuals.
