Coronary Artery Calcium Score in HIV Mexican Population (The CACsHIVMex Study)

Not Yet RecruitingN/A

Sponsor: Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social

Conditions: HIV - Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Interventions: Simple coronary CT scan

Countries: Mexico

The risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is increased in people with HIV infection, including young patients and those with few traditional cardiovascular risk factors. The increased risk of cardiovascular disease among people living with HIV is due to accelerated atherosclerosis, caused by chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation. The measurement of coronary calcium using plain computed tomography is a subclinical indicator of coronary atherosclerosis and is associated with the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in the general population.
