In the United States,> 1 million people are living with HIV, and% 50% are> 50 years old. 1 Potent combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality of people living with HIV (PLWH). 1, 2 However, as AIDS-related mortality has declined, death due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and non–AIDS-associated malignancies has increased. 3, 4 This changing pattern of mortality can be partly attributed to the fact that PLWH are living longer on effective ART and thus are now at risk for age-related diseases, but PLWH are dying from these diseases at higher rates and at younger ages than the general population. 1, 5, 6 Epidemiologic research has demonstrated higher rates of heart failure (HF), 7–10 coronary artery disease (CAD), 11, 12 pulmonary hypertension, 13 sudden cardiac death, 14, 15 and stroke8 in PLWH on ART compared with those without HIV, even when controlling for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. PLWH on ART have also been shown to have higher rates of subclinical CVD. including myocardial fibrosis and steatosis, 16–18 as well as impaired systolic and diastolic function19, 20 compared with controls without HIV. For these reasons, clinical cardiovascular specialists are likely to encounter PLWH who are at risk for or who have overt CVD, and HIV-related CVD is poised to become a major public health problem in the coming decades. In the ART era, CVD research has focused largely on mechanisms and prevention of CAD in PLWH, motivated in part by the fact that treatment with ART (particularly older, protease inhibitor–containing regimens) can directly and quickly lead to the development of an abnormal lipid profile that is amplified by the chronic inflammation associated with HIV. 21–25 Although the link between inflammation and atherosclerosis is well established, 26 chronic inflammation is increasingly being understood as a key mediator of other types of CVD, including HF, and may be a prominent mediator of the increased risk of CVD in PLWH. 27, 27–31 Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is an important pathophysiologic link between cardiovascular risk factors, chronic inflammation, endothelial activation, and the development of clinical CVD. 17, 32, 33 CMD is also a risk marker and can be used to risk stratify and to study the effects of particular interventions on coronary microvascular function. Given the elevated rates of both subclinical and clinical CVD among PLWH, along with the lack of evidence-based therapeutics that can be used to specifically target the increased risk of CVD in treated HIV, we believe it is critical to investigate specific mechanisms, such as CMD, that might provide insight into the mechanisms underlying CVD in PLWH. In addition, CMD in PLWH may also provide a unique model to better understand the relationship among immune activation, inflammation, and CVD in people without HIV. In this review, we describe (1) the relationship between inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, as well as methods for the assessment of peripheral endothelial function;(2) the pathophysiology of CMD and its possible contribution to CVD in PLWH;(3) strengths and limitations of prior studies that have examined CMD in PLWH; and (4) unmet needs and future directions for the study of CMD in PLWH.
