Coronary artery distensibility is impaired in HIV patients without significant coronary atherosclerosis
Background HIV infection is associated with an increased likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD) and related events, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Reduced coronary distensibility (CD) may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and is present in CAD patients. While aortic distensibility (AD) is known to be reduced in HIV, CD in HIV patients has not been stu...
متن کاملCirculating osteoprotegerin is increased in the metabolic syndrome and associates with subclinical atherosclerosis and coronary arterial calcification.
CONTEXT The relationship between osteoprotegerin (OPG) a glycoprotein related to bone metabolism and the metabolic syndrome (MS) has not been established. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate OPG concentration in patients with MS and its association with subclinical atherosclerosis and coronary arterial calcification (CAC). MATERIALS/METHODS The study included 238 asymptomatic pat...
متن کاملIncreased prevalence of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis detected by coronary computed tomography angiography in HIV-infected men.
OBJECTIVE The degree of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in HIV-infected patients is unknown. We investigated the degree of subclinical atherosclerosis and the relationship of traditional and nontraditional risk factors to early atherosclerotic disease using coronary computed tomography angiography. DESIGN AND METHODS Seventy-eight HIV-infected men (age 46.5 +/- 6.5 years and duration of ...

متن کاملA study of iron status in patients with coronary atherosclerosis
Background: It has been demonstrated that free oxygen radicals have a close interaction with lipid peroxidation, causing a modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and facilitating LDL deposition, with the consequent formation of atherosclerosis plaques. Free radical production is catalyzed and accelerated in the presence of iron. This study was conducted to evaluate the possible associ...
