Brief Summary:
HIV-infected patients with intermediate-high risk have a high prevalence of CAD and a substantial proportion of obstructive CAD Degree of stenosis is associated with immunoactivation lymphocyte and monocyte and microbial translocation
Detailed Description:
A hallmark of HIV infection is a state of global immune activation that is only partially restored under highly active antiretroviral therapy Apart from immune deficiency and impaired immune restoration this chronic immune activation may result via various mechanisms in non-AIDS linked morbidities such as atherosclerosis Coronary artery disease CAD especially myocardial infarction MI is the leading cause of death in Europe Eurostat 2013 Cardiovascular deaths are responsible for 8 of deaths among HIV-infected patients in France and for 15 of deaths among HIV-infected patients in US Lewden C JAIDS 08 Palella FJ JAIDS 06 Multiple cohort studies have shown that HIV-infected patients are at a higher risk of myocardial infarction than the general population Triant VA J Clin Endocrinol 07 Freiberg MS JAMA Intern Med 13 and there is some evidence that HIV-infected patients have a 38 greater risk of mortality from MI than controls Pearce D AM J Cardiol 12
Several tools for cardiovascular risk stratification are available but current risk scores seem to underestimate this risk in HIV-infected patients Indeed a significant proportion of cardiovascular events occur in subjects with none or few risk factors A European study comparing first episode of MI among HIV-infected patients with uninfected controls showed that 40 had none or only one traditional cardiovascular risk factor Boccara F Eur Heart J 11 Another study in general population demonstrates that almost 50 of patients with a MI had no previous history of coronary symptoms Tunstall-Pedoe H Circulation 96
The true prevalence of CAD in asymptomatic HIV-infected patients is unknown Older studies performed in tissue samples from deceased patients demonstrated 3-times greater odds of having obstructive CAD in HIV-infected patients compared with non-infected controls after controlling for age and sex Micheletti RG Cardiovasc Pathol 09 A recent meta-analysis shows that the prevalence of coronary stenosis and calcified coronary plaques is similar in comparison with non-HIV age and sex-matched controls but HIV-infected patients have a 3-fold higher prevalence of non-calcified coronary plaques DAscenzo Atherosclerosis 15
CAD severity detected by coronary computed tomographic angiography CCTA is associated with cardiac death or MI and all-cause mortality Habib F Int J Cardiol 12 64 slice or greater CCTA is reported to have a sensitivity of 93 to 97 and specificity of 80 to 90 compared to standard coronary angiography Fihn SD J Am Coll Cardiol 12 There is a high correlation between CCTA and invasive coronary angiography in the determination of CAD extent and severity Miller JM N Engl J Med 08
Whether routine CCTA screening in high-risk populations can effect changes in treatment such as pre-emptive coronary revascularization or more aggressive medical therapy remains unproven The 2013 AHA guidelines about stable ischemic heart disease states that either stress test or anatomic imaging in higher-risk individuals may be appropriate J Am Coll Cardiol 14
Few studies using CCTA have been performed in HIV-infected patients and none of these have been done in intermediate-high risk populations Most of theses studies have shown an increased prevalence of non-calcified plaques in HIV-infected men 59 vs 34 compared with controls non infected with similar CVRF Lo J AIDS 10 Post W Ann Intern Med 14 There is some inconsistent data regarding clinical variables associated with coronary stenosis Meanwhile CD4 nadir use or ART for more than 10 years and detectable viral load were independently associated with coronary stenosis 50 in the MACS cohort study Post W Ann Intern Med 14 another study among African-Americans with HIV only cardiovascular risk factors and cocaine use were associated with coronary stenosis Lai S Clin Infec Dis 08 Although the epidemiology and pathogenesis of HIV associated cardiovascular disease are complex and controversial we know that the risk of cardiovascular events is higher in untreated than treated HIV infection probably because inflammation is increased in untreated infection Recent data have raised interest in the role of Monocytesmacrophages in HIV-associated cardiovascular disease Increased levels of monocytes activation markers such as sCD14 and sCD163 are associated with increased all-cause mortality and HIV progression as well as more rapid progression of carotid atherosclerosis aortic inflammation and non-calcified coronary plaque Kelesidis JID 12 Subramanian S JAMA 12 Burdo JID 11 There is some evidence that monocyte profile in untreated HIV infection mirrors those with acute coronary syndrome Funderberg N Blood 12 and circulating monocytes CD16 were associated with coronary artery calcium progression in the SUN cohort Baker AIDS 14 Data from the MACS cohort showed that elevated levels of monocyte activation markers sCD163 sCD14 and CCL2 in HIV-infected men were associated with CAC and coronary artery stenosis Mc Kibben RA J Infec Dis 15 None of these studies have been performed in cardiovascular high-risk virologically suppressed patients
