Endothelial dysfunction in HIV-infected adults

​This study aims to evaluate the endothelial function in HIV infected patients who have received antiretroviral therapy for at least 3 years within the PHPT cohort and analyze its relation with different markers of immune activation, inflammation and coagulation. A preliminary analysis showed that endothelial dysfunction was common in this group although all patients achieved viral suppression and were relatively young. Higher sVCAM-1 concentration was associated with higher risk of low flow-mediated dilatation (FMD).
