Progression of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Coronary Artery Calcium Over 6 Years in an HIV-Infected Cohort

Abstract

Carotid IMT and CAC progressed in this HIV-infected cohort. Some HIV-specific characteristics were associated with surrogate marker changes, but the majority of risk factors continue to be traditional. Aggressive identification and management of modifiable risk factors may reduce progression of cardiovascular disease risk in this population.
