Abstract
Studies suggest human immunodeficiency virus-positive (HIV+) patients have an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), yet little is known about the histopathology, severity, or distribution of lesions. The coronary arteries of 66 deceased AIDS patients and 19 HIV controls (age <55) were dissected and graded for percent luminal stenosis by intimal lesions, percent of intima involved with lipid, and extent of intimal calcification on a scale of 0 to 3. Medical histories, antiretroviral therapies, and CAD risk factors were reviewed. HIV+ patients were older than controls (P=.06), and more were male (P=.02). Thirty-five percent of HIV+ patients had stenosis >or=75% of at least one artery. Compared to controls, HIV+ patients had three times greater odds of stenosis >or=75%, controlling for age and sex (one-sided P=.03). Older age and male sex were also risk factors (one-sided P<.001). HIV seropositivity was associated with increased plaque lipid content (one-sided P=.02) and calcification (one-sided P=.08). Duration of HIV infection, antiretroviral therapy, and immune status did not predict severe disease in multivariate analyses. Previously unreported patterns of dystrophic calcification were observed in HIV+ patients and ...Continue Reading
