During , the rates of MI among HIV+ and HIV- patients converged such that in the difference in rates between the two groups became statistically non-significant L Hurley CROI 2009 # 710 Heterogeneity of vascular lesions in HIV-infected patients VASCULITIS VS ATHEROMA Reina G, Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg. 2005;29: Wide flogistic infiltration, with lymphomonocytes and plasma cells along all the thickness of the wall and around the vasa vasorum Periard D, Lancet Infect Dis. 2008;8:58 Foamy appearing macrophage cells, sometimes with some additional T lymphocytes, aggregated platelets, localized smooth muscle cells 34

Linear regression was used to calculate predicted age and time to death was estimated via a Cox proportional hazard model. Since CAC accumulation is closely linked with atherosclerosis and ageing, a middle aged man with extensive CAC has a coronary age of a much older individual. Using data from MESA cohort, age specific curves for CAC score appropriate for sex and ethnicity have been generated Can we transform the Framingham score into a clinical tool to qualify people who need primary prevention for CVD? 724 HIV-infected patients with CAC score (Low+moderate vs moderate high + high) X 2 Fram Risk vs. FR-CVR: p < X 2 Fram Risk vs. FR-CAC: p < X 2 Fram CVR vs. FR-CAC: p <

24 Who may benefit from CAC assessment? The following patients might be reclassified to a higher risk status based on high CAC score 1. Women 2. Patients with intermediate CHD risk FRAMINGHAM CALCIUM SCORE >400 Tot <10% % >20% Tot CAC measurement in asymptomatic patients with intermediate CHD risk (between 10% and 20%) demonstrates incremental risk prediction information in comparison to low CVD risk. In these patients management might be modified. It is reasonable to consider use of CAC measurement in asymptomatic patients with intermediate CHD risk (between 10% and 20%) because of incremental risk prediction information in this patient group. This conclusion is based on the possibility that such patients might be reclassified to a higher risk status based on high CAC score, and subsequent patient management may be modified. 51

25 Coronary ageing in HIV-infected patients Background The objectives of this study were to assess the coronary age (CA) of a cohort of HIV-infected patients based on the extent of coronary artery calcium (CAC) and to identify the variables associated with it. Methods Observational cross-sectional study of 400 HIV patients receiving HAART. All patients underwent screening using computed tomography and individuals CA was calculated based on CAC score tables generated by the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Prevalence of CAC in the whole cohort and vascular age group distribution in the subpopulation with CAC>0. Increased CA was observed in 162 patients (40.5%) with an average increase of 15 (range 1-43) years compared to their chronological age. 52

26 Multivariable linear regression in the group with increased vascular age Univariate linear regression analysis of increased vascular age and CD4+ cell count in the group with increased vascular age 53

27 Hypothesis of the association between vascular damage and CD4 VASCULITIS ATHEROMA INFLAMMATION CD4 Low Cd4 Immune disregulation High Cd4 Immune activation Interpretation Increased CA was highly prevalent in our cohort, and the current CD4+ cell count was the sole independent predictor of it. This is a hypothesis generating observation suggesting that CA may be a surrogate of premature biological ageing in HIV infected patients and that the increase in CD4+ count due to HAART may promote atherosclerosis development. 54

28 Research questions: 1. Does endothelial function tests identify people vulnerable to CVD? 2. Does endothelial function tests identify antiretroviral-induced CVD toxicity? Clinical data suggest a (sub)acute reversible pathogenic mechanism, rather than a gradual progressive one CAD risk Only 1st year of ABC exposure?

29 ACTG 5152s: rapid improvement of endothelial function in treatmentnaive HIV+ individuals on LPV, EFV, and/or AZT + 3TC Endothelial cell function measured by brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in 82 patients receiving: PI-sparing (EFV + NRTI), NNRTI-sparing (LPV/r + NRTI), and NRTI-sparing (LPV/r + EFV) regimens Conclusions: Pre-ART FMD was impaired (4.0% vs normal > 7%) After 4 and 24 weeks of ART, FMD increased by 1.1% (p = 0.003) and 1.9% (p < 0.001) Benefits similar for all 3 regimens, at 4 weeks and 24 weeks (p > 0.5) Change in FMD over time FMD (%) EFV LPV/r LPV/r/EFV All Week 0 p = 0.82 Torriani FJ et al. 4 th IAS 2007, Abs WeAB 302 Week 4 p = 0.61 NRTI = 3TC + d4t or AZT Week 24 p = 0.78 Impairment of functional integrity of the vasculature during structured treatment interruption 17 cases: patients undertaking voluntary STI. 46 matched controls 56

30 FMD change in cases and controls stratified by plasma HIV RNA (VL) changes over time Group SEBAR Study Endothelial lunction, lipoproteins, and cardiovascular Iimatory markers in treated HIV-infected patients with Hyperlipidemia who were switched to an atazanavir-containing regimen or continued on other protease inhibitor-based based therapy Compared to subjects who continued their PI regimen, those who switched to ATV had : Stable CD4 and plasma HIV RNA Significant reductions in total cholesterol, triglycerides, and non-hdl cholesterol levels Significantly higher bilirubin level No significant changes in endothelial function and cardiovascular inflammatory markers Murphy R, Guaraldi G, CROI 2009 #

32 Independant predictors of FMD change prospective study (339 observations) No differences in FMD change was found between gender (p = 0.43) First obs. Second obs. p-value FMD (%) beta 95% CI p-value Male sex ; < First FMD value ; < Age ; Other covariates included in the analysis: current CD4 cell count, MDRD, hypertension, years of NRTIs, NNRTIs and Pis exposure, current NNRTIs and Pis exposure. Research questions: 1. Does endothelial function tests identify people vulnerable to CVD? 2. Does endothelial function tests identify antiretroviral induced CVD toxicity? 59

33 Research questions: 1. Does endothelial function tests identify people vulnerable to CVD? Probably yes 2. Does endothelial function tests identify antiretroviral-induced CVD toxicity? Probably no Conclusion Given the complex pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease, no single biomarker will likely prove to be an adequate stand-alone surrogate for the presence of clinically significant disease, i.e. one for which changes in values measured can independently predict clinical benefit, increased risk, or no effect among all individuals tested, regardless of drugs received. For now, the mainstays of cardiovascular disease prevention for HIV-infected persons at high risk include judicious selection of HAART agents, appropriate lifestyle changes, and use of lipid-lowering and antiaggregants medications 60
