Given unique pathways contributing to hypertension among People with HIV (PWH), we sought to determine whether antihypertensive class was associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) events among PWH. Among veterans with HIV and incident hypertension (2000-2018), we used propensity score-matching to evaluate risk of 1) incident/recurrent CVD or death, 2) incident CVD and 3) incident heart failure by antihypertensive class. In supplementary analyses, we performed stratified analyses by race and CKD status. Among 8041 veterans, 24% were initiated on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin-receptor blocker (ACEi/ARB) monotherapy, 23% on thiazide/thiazide-like diuretic monotherapy, 13% on β-blocker monotherapy, and 11% on calcium channel blocker (CCB) monotherapy. Over a median of 6.5 years, 25% experienced a CVD event. β-blockers, but not CCBs or diuretics, were associated with an increased risk of incident CVD compared with ACEs/ARBs (HR [95% CI]: β-blockers 1.90 [1.24, 2.89]; CCBs 1.02 [0.77, 1.34]; diuretics 1.06 [0.86,1.31]); similar HR were noted for incident/recurrent CVD or death. In veterans without CKD, ACEi/ARBs were associated with a lower risk of incident heart failure compared with all other classes (HR [95% CI]: β-blockers 1.52 [1.11, 2.09]; CCBs 1.48 [1.00, 2.19]; diuretics 1.52 [1.07, 2.16]). In conclusion, we observed high rates of CVD events in PWH with hypertension and a high prevalence of β-blocker use for initial hypertension management, even among those without indications. Our findings highlight the potential harm associated with β-blockers and the possible benefit associated with ACEI/ARBs for hypertension management in PWH. Prospective and randomized trials are needed to confirm these findings.
