RSNA: Early Coronary Disease, Impaired Heart Function Found in Asymptomatic People with HIV
OAK BROOK, Ill., April 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new study found increased coronary vessel wall thickness that was significantly associated with impaired diastolic function in asymptomatic, middle-aged individuals living with HIV. The study was published today in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
- A new study found increased coronary vessel wall thickness that was significantly associated with impaired diastolic function in asymptomatic, middle-aged individuals living with HIV.
- The ability to detect early coronary artery disease in persons living with HIV and potentially prevent detrimental effects on the heart muscle is important.
- This research shows the impact of HIV on developing subtle subclinical coronary artery disease and its effects on heart function.
