Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary heart disease, is becoming more common among those living with HIV. Individuals with HIV face an increased susceptibility to myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, as compared to the general population in developed countries. This heightened risk can be attributed mainly to the presence of effective antiretroviral drugs and the resulting longer lifespan. Some cardiac issues linked to non-antiretroviral medications, including myocarditis, endocarditis, cardiomyopathy with dilation, pulmonary hypertension, and oedema of the heart, may affect those not undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART). Impaired immune function and systemic inflammation are significant contributors to this phenomenon after initiating highly aggressive antiretroviral treatment ART. It is becoming more challenging to determine the best course of treatment for HIV-associated cardiomyopathy due to new research suggesting that protease inhibitors might have a negative impact on the development of HF. Currently, the primary focus of research on ART medications is centered on the cardiovascular adverse effects of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors. This review paper thoroughly evaluates the advancements achieved in cardiovascular disease research and explores the potential implications for prospects. Additionally, it considers the field's future prospects while examining how ART might be altered and its clinical applications.

Abstract
The advent of potent highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for persons infected with HIV-1 has led to a "new" chronic disease with complications including cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in persons with HIV infection. In addition to traditional risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidaemia, infection with HIV is an independent risk factor for CVD. This review summarizes: (1) the vascular and nonvascular cardiac manifestations of HIV infection; (2) cardiometabolic effects of HAART; (3) atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk assessment, prevention and treatment in persons with HIV-1 infection.

Comparison of Rates of Death Having any Death-Certificate Mention of Heart, Kidney, or Liver Disease Among Persons Diagnosed with HIV Infection with those in the General US Population, 2009-2011. Open AIDS J 2015; 9:14-22. [PMID: 25767634 PMCID: PMC4353126 DOI: 10.2174/1874613601509010014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2014] [Revised: 01/28/2015] [Accepted: 02/05/2015] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Compare age-adjusted rates of death due to liver, kidney, and heart diseases during 2009-2011 among US residents diagnosed with HIV infection with those in the general population. METHODS Numerators were numbers of records of multiple-cause mortality data from the national vital statistics system with an ICD-10 code for the disease of interest (any mention, not necessarily the underlying cause), divided into those 1) with and 2) without an additional code for HIV infection. Denominators were 1) estimates of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection from national HIV surveillance system data and 2) general population estimates from the US Census Bureau. We compared age-adjusted rates overall (unstratified by sex, race/ethnicity, or region of residence) and stratified by demographic group. RESULTS Overall, compared with the general population, persons diagnosed with HIV infection had higher age-adjusted rates of death reported with hepatitis B (rate ratio [RR]=42.6; 95% CI: 34.7-50.7), hepatitis C (RR=19.4; 95% CI: 18.1-20.8), liver disease excluding hepatitis B or C (RR=2.1; 95% CI: 1.8-2.3), kidney disease (RR=2.4; 95% CI: 2.2-2.6), and cardiomyopathy (RR=1.9; 95% CI: 1.6-2.3), but lower rates of death reported with ischemic heart disease (RR=0.6; 95% CI: 0.6-0.7) and heart failure (RR=0.8; 95% CI: 0.6-0.9). However, the differences in rates of death reported with the heart diseases were insignificant in some demographic groups. CONCLUSION Persons with HIV infection have a higher risk of death with liver and kidney diseases reported as causes than the general population.

Abstract
Abacavir (ABC) is a guanosine nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) with potent antiretroviral activity. Since NRTIs exhibit tissue-specific inhibition of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) synthesis, the ability of ABC to inhibit mtDNA synthesis in vivo was evaluated. Inbred wild-type (WT) and transgenic mice (TG) treated with ABC (3.125 mg/d p. o., 35 days) were used to define mitochondrial oxidative stress and cardiac function. Chosen TGs exhibited overexpression of HIV-1 viral proteins (NL4-3Deltagag/pol, non-replication competent), hemizygous depletion or overexpression of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD2(+/-) knock-out (KO) or MnSOD OX, respectively), overexpression of mitochondrially targeted catalase (MCAT), or double "knockout" deletion of aldehyde dehydrogenase activity (ALDH2 KO). Impact on mtDNA synthesis was assessed by comparing changes in mtDNA abundance between ABC-treated and vehicle-treated WTs and TGs. No changes in mtDNA abundance occurred from ABC treatment in any mice, suggesting no inhibition of mtDNA synthesis. Left ventricle (LV) mass and LV end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) were defined echocardiographically and remained unchanged as well. These results indicate that treatment with ABC has no visible cardiotoxicity in these adult mice exposed for 5 weeks compared to findings with other antiretroviral NRTI studies and support some claims for its relative safety.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is an important complication of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), but the mechanism(s) involved are poorly understood. Although co-infecting pathogens have been implicated as an important factor in AIDS progression, no studies have investigated these interactions in cardiac tissue. We recently demonstrated that the murine AIDS model (LPBM5 retroviral infection) mimics human immunodeficiency virus-related cardiac dysfunction and pathology. We tested the hypothesis that subseptic lipopolysaccharide exposure (LPS) would enhance LPBM5 progression and exacerbate cardiovascular dysfunction during murine AIDS development. LPS (5 mg/kg, Escherichia coli 0111:B4) was administered at 1, 6, and 8 weeks during LPBM5 infection, and cardiac performance was evaluated at 10 weeks using noninvasive echocardiography. LPS alone had no significant effects, whereas it amplified abnormalities in cardiac structure and function observed in murine AIDS. Cardiac dysfunction was associated with selective increases in nonfocal infiltration of CD68(+) cells and correlated with the extent of cardiac dysfunction. Retroviral progression and cardiac retroviral content remained unaltered, but cardiac toll-like receptor 4 was increased in retrovirus + LPS. We provide first-time evidence of multipathogen enhancements to retrovirus-related cardiac complications and implicate innate immune responses, not co-pathogen-induced retroviral replication, as the primary mechanism in this setting.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is increasingly recognised as a consequence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Dyslipidaemia is also a feature of HIV infection itself and the antiretroviral drugs from the protease inhibitor classes. Increased rates of atherosclerotic disease and diabetes have been associated with lipodystrophy and now from one of the major causes of morbidity in HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).This review, based on a multi-database keyword search, summarises the lipid changes observed in the course of HIV infection and its treatment, and puts them into the context of other risk factors for cardiac disease, and other causes of cardiovascular disease in HIV.

Abstract
Cardiac dysfunction in AIDS is an important problem. Cocaine is an epidemic associated with sudden death, cardiac dysfunction, and congestive heart failure. Cocaine use and HIV infection frequently coexist in the same patient, yet the combined impact of both is poorly understood. The present study uses cocaine treatment of an established murine AIDS transgenic model (NL4-3Delta gag/pol; TG) to define the combined effects of AIDS and cocaine on cardiac pathophysiology. To determine the effects of cocaine and HIV-1 proteins on mortality, wild-type and NL4-3Delta gag/pol mice received saline or cocaine via continuous infusion by Alzet osmotic pumps for 28 days (chronic). Acute cocaine administration (10 days; 40 mg/kg/day) was used to study the nonlethal effects of cocaine in TGs. Echocardiograms and single time point electrocardiograms were performed at the termination of each experiment. Hearts were removed and examined histopathologically. Chronic cocaine treatment (80 mg/kg/day; 28 days) markedly decreased median survival in both wild-type and TG; however, TG survival was significantly more decreased. In acute studies, TG echocardiographic changes included increased left ventricular mass and increased left ventricular fractional shortening compared with all cohorts. Electrocardiographic changes were absent among the groups. Histopathologically, perivascular fibrosis and interstitial fibrosis were evident in cocaine-treated TG. Data suggest that additive cardiac insults (from AIDS and cocaine) result in combined deleterious effects.

Abstract
We investigated 18 AIDS hearts (5 with and 13 without cardiomyopathy) by using immunocytochemistry and computerized image analysis regarding the roles of HIV-1 proteins and tumor necrosis factor ligands in HIV cardiomyopathy (HIVCM). HIVCM and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were significantly related to each other and to the expression by inflammatory cells of gp120 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. In HIVCM heart, active caspase 9, a component of the mitochondrion-controlled apoptotic pathway, and the elements of the death receptor-mediated pathway, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and Fas ligand, were expressed strongly on macrophages and weakly on cardiomyocytes. HIVCM showed significantly greater macrophage infiltration and cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate compared with non-HIVCM. HIV-1 entered cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes by macropinocytosis but did not replicate. HIV-1- or gp120-induced apoptosis of rat myocytes through a mitochondrion-controlled pathway, which was inhibited by heparin, AOP-RANTES, or pertussis toxin, suggesting that cardiomyocyte apoptosis is induced by signaling through chemokine receptors. In conclusion, in patients with HIVCM, cardiomyocytes die through both mitochondrion- and death receptor-controlled apoptotic pathways.
