Association of Cardiologist Clinic Visits With Cardiovascular Primary Prevention Outcomes Among People With HIV From Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Groups in the Southern United States
Among PWH from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease, a cardiology clinic visit was not associated with risk factor improvement or reduced risk of a major adverse cardiovascular event. Our study suggests that seeing a cardiologist is not sufficient to promote cardiovascular health or prevent cardiovascular events among PWH, but with low confidence given the higher risk among those who had a cardiology visit.
