Two nucleoside-reverse-transcriptase-inhibitors (NRTIs)-abacavir and didanosine-may each be associated with excess risk of myocardial infarction (MI). The reproducibility of this finding in an independent data set was explored and plausible biological mechanisms were sought. Biomarkers, ischemic changes on the electrocardiogram, and rates of various pre-defined types of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events according to NRTIs used were explored in the SMART study. Patients receiving abacavir and not didanosine were compared with those receiving didanosine, and to those receiving NRTIs other than abacavir or didanosine (“other NRTIs”). Patients randomly assigned to the continuous ART arm of SMART was included in all analyses(N=2752); for the study of biomarkers, patients from the ART interruption arm was also included. Current use of abacavir was associated with an excess risk of CVD compared to other NRTIs. Adjusted hazard ratios for clinical MI (n=19), major CVD (MI, stroke, surgery for coronary artery disease (CAD), and CVD death;n=70), expanded CVD (major CVD plus congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, CAD requiring drug treatment, and unwitnessed deaths;n=112) were 4.3 (95% confidence interval (CI):1.4-13.0), 1.8(1.0-3.1), and 1.9(1.3-2.9). At baseline in a subset of patients with biomarker data, high sensitivity-C reactive protein and interleukin-6 were 27% (p=0.02) and 16% (p=0.02) higher for patient receiving abacavir (N=175) compared to other NRTIs (N=500). Didanosine was not associated with altered risk of CVD nor with altered levels of biomarkers. Abacavir was associated with an increased risk of CVD. The drug may cause vascular inflammation, which may precipitate a CVD event.
