Myocardial Adipose Inflammation and Pericardial Adipose Volume as Markers for Coronary Artery Disease In HIV Positive Patients
In Brief
An observational study for Coronary Artery Disease and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators propose to correlate 1) cardiac MRI pericardial adipose volume, 2) the presence of pericardial monocytes and 3) circulating immune biomarkers in persons with and without CHD and HIV infection compared to seronegative controls with known CHD. The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that higher amounts of pericardial fat deposition and increased presence of monocytes within this adipose tissue are associated with underlying coronary artery disease in persons with HIV infection as measured by cardiac MRI.
