Summary:[...]it is plausible that HIV-related inflammation and immune dysregulation make the myocardium particularly vulnerable to ischemic injury. For this nested study within the larger HIVE-4CVD cohort, patients were eligible if they had moderate or greater CAD (>=50% diameter stenosis of >=1 major coronary artery or branch >2 mm in diameter) on coronary angiography and thereafter underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with contrast.
