Hypertension in people living with HIV.

TLDR
The burden of hypertension among people living with HIV is high and its pathophysiology most likely multifactorial, and efforts should be made to improve hypertension management as per existing clinical guidelines in order to safeguard cardiovascular health and quality of life in PLHIV.
Abstract
Purpose of reviewThis review describes what is known concerning the burden of hypertension among people living with HIV (PLHIV), and also addresses relevant topics with respect to its risk factors and clinical management.Recent findingsHypertension is highly prevalent in HIV-positive populations, an

Hypertension in HIV-Infected Adults: Novel Pathophysiologic Mechanisms.

TL;DR: The mechanisms of hypertension in HIV infection are explored, which are critical to public health efforts to prevent hypertension, cardiovascular disease and premature mortality in HIV-infected adults.

Vascular cognitive impairment and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder: a new paradigm

TL;DR: The probable total burden of VCI in the global HIV population is higher than in the general population and would need to be compared to chronic conditions such as type I diabetes and multiple sclerosis to account for the disease chronicity and lifelong treatment effects.

Patho-immune Mechanisms of Hypertension in HIV: a Systematic and Thematic Review

TL;DR: Comparing studies from Sub-Saharan Africa with what is reported in the USA and European literature on the role of immune cell activation in the pathogenesis of hypertension in people living with HIV is compared.

Integrated Hypertension and HIV Care Cascades in an HIV Treatment Program in Eastern Uganda: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

TL;DR: The HIV care cascade approached global targets, while the parallel HTN care cascade demonstrated notable quality gaps, suggesting that models of integration should focus on screening PLHIV for HTN and retention and control of those diagnosed to fully leverage the successes of HIV programs.

Increased acute myocardial infarction rates and cardiovascular risk factors among patients with human immunodeficiency virus disease.

TL;DR: AMI rates and cardiovascular risk factors were increased in HIV compared with non-HIV patients, particularly among women, and cardiac risk modification strategies are important for the long-term care of HIV patients.

Cardiovascular disease risk factors in HIV patients - association with antiretroviral therapy. Results from the DAD study

TL;DR: Of specific concern is the fact that use of the NNRTI and PI drug classes (alone and especially in combination), particularly among older subjects with normalized CD4 cell counts and suppressed HIV replication, was associated with a lipid profile known to increase the risk of coronary heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation, Immunity, and Hypertension

TL;DR: Components of the innate and adaptive immune response are reviewed, data from many groups are discussed that suggest that common forms of hypertension are immune mediated, and a working hypothesis of how signals from the central nervous system trigger an immune response that causes hypertension is provided.

Future challenges for clinical care of an ageing population infected with HIV: a modelling study

TL;DR: The profile of patients in the Netherlands infected with HIV is changing, with increasing numbers of older patients with multiple morbidities, which means that, in the near future, HIV care will increasingly need to draw on a wide range of medical disciplines, in addition to evidence-based screening and monitoring protocols to ensure continued high-quality care.
