What Can We Do About It? ARS Question: Cardiovascular Risk Prediction When Assessing Risk for Cardiovascular Disease in a Patient with HIV, which of these Strategies Do You Most Commonly Use? 1. Framingham Risk Equations (CHD or Total CVD) 2. ACC/AHA 2013 ASCVD Risk Estimator 3. D:A:D Risk Equations 4. My Clinical Judgment Based on Risk Factors 5. None: I Don t Actively Assess CVD Risk Slide 31 of 42

11 ACC/AHA 2013 ASCVD Estimator in CNICS Guide to Interpretation: Harrell s C = 0.76 GND = 6.4 (P=.50) Slope = Intercept = Harrell s C = 0.74 GND = 10.3 (.24) Slope = Intercept = C-statistic (Discrimination): How well does the estimator rank-order higher vs. lower risk Harrell s C = 0.64 GND = 12.9 (<0.01) Slope = Intercept = Harrell s C = 0.74 GND = 8.0 (.24) Slope = Intercept = GND or Chi-Square (Calibration): How good is the fit? Greater difference (higher number, lower P value) means worse calibration Slide 32 of 42 Feinstein MJ, et al. JAMA Cardiology. 2017;2: Framingham ASCVD Estimator: PARTNERS C-Statistic: 0.67 Calibration Chi-Square = 24.6 (p=0.0004) Conclusion: Inadequate discrimination and calibration; consistent under-prediction of ASCVD risk. Similar findings when ACC/AHA model applied in PARTNERS Slide 33 of 42 Triant VA, et al. Circulation 2018;137(19):[ePub]. D:A:D, Framingham Total CVD (really ASCVD) Notes: D:A:D somewhat better calibrated but not externally validated - Full D:A:D model: Chi-square = 13.3 (p=0.11) - Reduced D:A:D model: Chi-square = 12.7 (p=0.21) - Framingham total CVD: Chi-square = 37.8 (p<0.001) Limitation of D:A:D, Framingham: Race not incorporated Endpoints were almost all ASCVD (MI, stroke, invasive coronary procedure, and CHD death accounted for 997 out of 1010 total CVD events) D:A:D reduced model adds CD4 count and family history; full model adds abacavir, PI, and NRTI exposure Slide 34 of 42 Friis-Moller N, et al. Eur J Prev Cardiol 2016;23(2):

12 HIV and Statins HIGH-QUALITY STATIN TRIAL EVIDENCE (RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS) IN THE GENERAL POPULATION: >220,000 PEOPLE >1,000,000 PERSON-YEARS STATIN TRIALS FOR HIV (ON ART): 317 PPTS 213 PERSON-YRS NO HARD OUTCOMES Slide 35 of 42 Feinstein MJ, et al. Am J Cardiol 2015;115(2): Approach: CVD Prevention in HIV The risk estimators probably aren t that different. Not surprising - they use similar covariates and differ mainly in their derivation cohorts. Pick one that works for you (I use the 2013 ACC/AHA one) and consider it the low-end estimate of ASCVD risk. Probably 1.5-2x higher in HIV. Estimating risk is impt: Net clinical benefit = Absolute benefit harm = ARR adverse events Net benefit of statins most apparent by ~5% 10y risk and up. Consider this in determining Rx, plus lifestyle modification, DDIs, pt preferences Slide 36 of 42 What About Secondary Prevention? No data on highest intensity statin safety in HIV PROVE-IT TIMI 22 (general population) N=4162 with ACS Pravastatin 40 vs. Atorvastatin 80 16% relative risk reduction (4% ARR) with atorvastatin For highest risk people in the general population, we do the highest intensity tolerated, so why not in HIV? Consider DDIs and context, then start low, go slow to max tolerated dose. Slide 37 of 42

13 Role of Aspirin ASA did not impact markers of immune activation or endothelial function in HIV in a recent trial Young study population (mean age 48-50), 12 week f/u, endpoint of questionable utility/reproducibility (FMD) Therefore, despite pro-thrombotic risk in HIV, no compelling evidence to have different approach than in the general population for CVD prevention USPSTF: ASA for age if 10%+ 10y ASCVD risk Slide 38 of 42 O Brien MP, et al. Open Forum Infect Dis 2017;4(1):ofw278. Heart Failure Prevention and Treatment Studies ongoing to understand pathogenesis of heart failure (particularly with preserved ejection fraction) in HIV More investigation is needed to determine which screening tests and therapies unique to HIV-related heart failure prevention & treatment will be most useful In the meantime, diagnosis/treatment as in general population but with high index of suspicion Slide 39 of 42 Conclusions People living with HIV have elevated risks for atherosclerotic disease, thrombosis, and cardiac dysfunction / heart failure Chronic inflammation and immune activation persist despite effective ART and appear to play a role in CVD pathogenesis High indices of suspicion are needed to recognize and treat these CVDs in the aging HIV population. More research is needed regarding optimal screening and treatment strategies Slide 40 of 42
