Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was associated with increased morbidity and mortality, predominantly for opportunistic infections, before using antiretroviral therapy. With this, patients have experienced increased survival and cardiovascular compromise too. The etiology of these clinical conditions could be related to the infection itself, adverse events associated with antiretroviral therapy, or adverse events produced by the combination with other drugs. Some of these conditions have an acute onset, and their rapid recognition is vital for a better prognosis.

HIV-1-Associated Left Ventricular Cardiac Dysfunction in Humanized Mice. Sci Rep 2020; 10:9746.

Abstract
The molecular cause(s) for early onset heart failure in people living with HIV-1 infection (PLWH) remains poorly defined. Herein, longitudinal echocardiography was used to assess whether NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ mice reconstituted with human hematopoietic stem cells (Hu-NSG mice) and infected with HIV-1ADA can recapitulate the salient features of this progressive human disease. Four weeks post infection, Hu-NSG mice of both sexes developed left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD), with 25% exhibiting grade III/IV restrictive DD with mitral regurgitation. Increases in global longitudinal and circumferential strains and declines in LV ejection fraction and fractional shortening were observed eight weeks post infection. After twelve weeks of infection, 33% of Hu-NSG mice exhibited LV dyskinesia and dyssynchrony. Histopathological analyses of hearts seventeen weeks post infection revealed coronary microvascular leakage, fibrosis and immune cell infiltration into the myocardium. These data show for the first time that HIV-1ADA-infected Hu-NSG mice can recapitulate key left ventricular cardiac deficits and pathophysiological changes reported in humans with progressive HIV-1 infection. The results also suggest that HIV-1 infected Hu-NSG mice may be a useful model to screen for pharmacological agents to blunt LV dysfunction and associated pathophysiologic causes reported in PLWH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Since the advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART), non-infectious pulmonary disorders have become common comorbidities in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive population. Clinicians caring for those with HIV disease should be aware of the prevalence of non-infectious pulmonary disorders. A comprehensive understanding is required to diagnosis and manage these syndromes appropriately. Areas covered: This review focuses on the epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical feature and diagnosis, and treatment of HIV-related chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension. Expert Commentary: The prevalence of COPD in the HIV population is frequent and requires appropriate diagnosis and treatment. HIV-positive individuals with lung cancer carry a poorer prognosis and require early diagnosis and treatment. A complex condition exists with pulmonary hypertension in the HIV population and requires a high degree of clinical suspicion for early diagnosis.

Abstract
Although mortality from HIV has decreased over the last several years as a result of effective antiretroviral therapy, the infection continues to pose significant morbidity. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), for instance, has been reported to occur in the setting of established HIV infection on only rare occasions and carries a universally poor prognosis. The current case report is unique in describing a previously well patient who presents initially with complaints of debilitating leg swelling and is subsequently diagnosed with HIV and associated PAH.

Abstract
Compression and paralysis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve by a dilated pulmonary artery is a rare complication of pulmonary hypertension. We here report the case of a patient with severe haemophilia A and HIV infection who presented with a persistent hoarseness of voice and a left vocal cord palsy caused by HIV-associated pulmonary hypertension. This case suggests that HIV-associated pulmonary hypertension should be suspected in any HIV patient presenting with unexplained left vocal cord palsy.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the long-term course of pulmonary arterial hypertension related to infection with human immunodeficiency virus (PAHRH) and the influence of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on its characteristics. We retrospectively analyzed all 47 patients in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study in whom PAHRH was diagnosed. Among 35 patients who underwent follow-up Doppler echocardiography, the right ventricular systolic pressure over right atrial pressure gradient increased by a median of 25 mm Hg in 9 patients who had not received ART, decreased by a median of 3 mm Hg in 12 patients who had received nucleoside analogs, and decreased by a median of 21 mm Hg in 14 patients who had received highly active ART (HAART) (P<.005). Among all 47 patients, median duration of survival after PAHRH diagnosis was 2.7 years. HAART significantly decreased mortality due to PAHRH as well as other causes. This study suggests a beneficial effect of combination ART in patients with PAHRH.

Abstract
As longevity increases in HIV-infected individuals after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy regimens, long-term effects such as cardiovascular disease and, more specifically, symptomatic heart failure are emerging as leading health issues. In the present review article, we discuss HIV-associated cardiovascular disease, focusing on etiopathogenetic mechanisms that may play a role in diagnosis, management, and therapy of HIV-associated heart failure in the highly active antiretroviral therapy era.

Abstract
Attempts were made to infect human vascular smooth muscle cells derived from the pulmonary artery (hPASMC) with two different human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vector systems. ADA/Luc or HXB2/Luc were generated by cotransfection of luciferase reporter gene vector, pNL4-3-Luc-E- R-, and one of two envelope expressing vectors, pSMADA (R5) or pSMHXB2 (X4). The VSV-G/Luc or VSV-G/GFP were produced by a three-plasmid expression system which consisted of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G) expressing vector, packaging plasmid, and one of two reporter genes (pHR'-CMV-Luc or pHR'-CMV-GFP). We used hPASMC, U87.CD4.CCR5 and U87.CD4.CXCR4 for infection. Neither ADA/Luc nor HXB2/Luc could infect hPASMC, though they could infect U87.CD4 with corresponding coreceptors. On the other hand, the transduction of both VSV-G/Luc and VSV-G/GFP to hPASMC was remarkable. At day 3, the relative proportion of positive cells of hPASMC infected with VSV-G/GFP was 15%. The above finding indicates a direct role of HIV-1 infection in pulmonary hypertension 'a rare complication of HIV-1 infection' and HIV-based vectors could introduce foreign genes into hPASMC for gene therapy of pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a syndrome of dyspnea, chest pain, and syncope defined by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and the absence of a known cause. It also occurs in a familial form, which is linked to unidentified genes on chromosome 2. This syndrome is characterized by abnormalities of pulmonary vascular biology in each compartment of the blood vessel. The lumen has a prothrombotic diathesis, the endothelium displays an excessive production of vasoconstrictors relative to vasodilators, and the smooth muscle cells are depolarized and calcium-overloaded, which is due in part to reduced expression of voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv). This causes vasoconstriction and may promote cell proliferation. The adventitia displays excessive remodeling, which is associated with exaggerated metalloproteinase and elastase activity. Conceptually, PPH seems to require a permissive genotype, a susceptible phenotype (eg, endothelial dysfunction) and, in many cases, an exogenous trigger (eg, an anorexigen). Although there is not a generally accepted, unifying hypothesis regarding its cause, impaired function and the expression of vascular and platelet Kv channels suggest PPH may be a disease of the ion channels. Abnormal matrix metalloproteinase and elastase activity could also explain the abnormal vascular tone, platelet activation, and remodeling in PPH. Although calcium-channel blockers and prostacyclin, particularly when coadministered with warfarin, improve survival, PPH has a 5-year mortality rate of approximately 50%. Pharmacological and gene therapies aimed at enhancing the activity of prostacyclin, nitric oxide synthases, and Kv channels or at inhibiting endothelin and matrix metalloproteinases are promising areas for future development.
