Association between Immune Markers and Surrogate Markers of Cardiovascular Disease in HIV Positive Patients: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND HIV infection is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Chronic low-grade immune activation is likely one of the driving mechanisms. This systematic review provides an overview of the evidence addressing the relation between immune markers and surrogate markers of CVD (except CIMT) in HIV infection. METHODS A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Em...

Endothelial Dysfunction The endothelium constitutes the largest organ system in the body. “Endothelial function” refers to a multitude of physiological functions of the vascular endothelium that are achieved via secretion of diverse bioactive substances. This renders the endothelium an active participant in healthy homeostasis of the vascular wall that includes normal vasomotion, inhibition of ...
متن کاملSurrogate markers for cardiovascular disease: structural markers.
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Pignoli et al1 validated the concept that intima-media thickness (IMT), as measured by B-mode ultrasound and applied either in vitro or in situ at the time of autopsy, reflected direct measurements of aortic and/or carotid specimens. Values obtained by ultrasound at autopsy and by direct measurement were similar to those obtained from living subjects. The characte...
متن کاملCardiovascular Disease-Risk Markers in HIV Patients
OBJECTIVES HIV-positive patients have an increased risk for CVD; however, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Our goal was to assess traditional and emerging CVD-risk factors in the CARE Study, a well-described cohort of HIV-infected adults. METHODS We analyzed demographic and clinical (viral load, CD4 count, ART regimen, cIMT) data including markers of lipid and glucose homeos...
متن کاملSystematic Review of Anthocyanins and Markers of Cardiovascular Disease.
Anthocyanins are dietary flavonoids commonly consumed in the diet, which have been suggested to have a preventative effect on cardiovascular disease (CVD) development among epidemiological studies. We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing the effects of purified anthocyanins and anthocyanin-rich extracts on markers of CVD (triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-dens...
