Carotid and aortic stiffness: determinants of discrepancies.
Several studies have shown that aortic stiffness was an independent predictor for cardiovascular events. However, data are less consistent concerning carotid stiffness. We analyzed the determinants of the discrepancies between aortic and carotid stiffness in different populations with contrasting cardiovascular risk factors: 94 healthy normotensives (NT), 243 nondiabetic hypertensives (HT), and...
متن کاملMaraviroc Reduces Arterial Stiffness in PI-Treated HIV-infected Patients
The Δ32-CCR5 deletion of the CCR5 receptor is protective toward coronary artery pathology and myocardial infarction. Maraviroc (MVC), a CCR5 antagonist, was recently introduced in the therapy of HIV infection; we evaluated whether this drug could modulate the atherosclerotic burden in aviremic PI-treated HIV-positive individuals who underwent MVC intensification. Thus, the effect of MVC on inti...
متن کاملDeterminants of survival among HIV-infected chronic dialysis patients.
Over 100 HIV-infected patients have initiated chronic dialysis at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH) since 1985. This study employed retrospective analysis to identify determinants of and trends in survival among HIV-infected patients who have initiated chronic dialysis at SFGH from January 1, 1985 to November 1, 2002 (n = 115). Cohort patient survival was compared with survival after an AID...
متن کاملprofile of candidiasis in hiv infected patients.
background and objective: candidiasis is a common opportunistic infection in hiv-infected patients. the spectrum of candida infection is diverse, starting from asymptomatic colonization to pathogenicforms. the low absolute cd4+ t-lymphocyte count has traditionally been cited as the greatest risk factor for the development of oropharyngeal candidiasis and current guidelines suggest increased ris...
متن کاملDeterminants of progression of aortic stiffness in hemodialysis patients: a prospective longitudinal study.
Aortic stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, the rate of progression of arterial stiffness and the role of cardiovascular risk factors in the progression of arterial stiffness has never been established in a longitudinal study. In a prospective, longitudinal, observational study, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and ...
