Abstract

PURPOSE: Patients infected with HIV have an increased risk for accelerated atherosclerosis. Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a focal manifestation of atherosclerosis and is a predictor of cardiovascular outcomes. Prior studies have shown that prevalence of PAD is higher in HIV patients. We sought to determine whether the presence of PAD was directly proportional to the severity of HIV infection (low CD4 count).
