Abstract
Approximately 34 million individuals worldwide are infected with HIV, which can now be treated with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Nevertheless, according to data from a new observational study, individuals infected with HIV have an increased burden of myocardial disease, in addition to the known association between HIV and coronary artery disease. Associate Professor Cameron Holloway, who was the lead author on the study report, believes that “there is an urgent need to understand the pathophysiology of cardiac complications to enable effective therapies and prevention of cardiac disease in patients with chronic HIV”.
