Arterial stiffness in people with HIV: a cross-sectional, comparative study with echocardiographic outcomes in Tanzania
Differential associations between HIV and multiple measures of arterial stiffness suggest that HIV is associated with peripheral but not central arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness was correlated with cardiac hypertrophy and impaired cardiac filling, suggesting a mechanistic pathway for HIV-related CVD that includes peripheral arterial stiffness. We identified a subpopulation of young, male PWH at risk for early vascular aging.
