Zusammenfassung: | HIV infection and abacavir-containing antiretroviral regimens are associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction and increased cardiovascular risk. Positron emission tomography (PET)-derived myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR), the ratio of vasodilator stress to rest myocardial blood flow, is a well-validated measure of coronary microvascular health and marker of cardiovascular risk. Our objective was to compare MBFR among people with HIV (PWH) with matched non-HIV controls and to assess whether switching from dolutegravir/lamivudine/abacavir to the non-abacavir regimen bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) would improve MBFR.
Thirty-seven PWH were 1:2 matched on cardiovascular risk factors to 75 people without HIV, and MBFR corrected for differences in resting hemodynamics was compared in a cross-sectional design. PWH were majority men (68%) with a mean age of 56 years. Mean stress myocardial blood flow (1.83 mL/min per g [95% CI, 1.68-1.98] versus 2.40 mL/min per g [95% CI, 2.25-2.54]; |
