Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonism for Cardiovascular Health in HIV--The MIRACLE HIV Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Eplerenone, Placebo, and 1 other intervention for HIV. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
HIV-infected individuals treated with antiretroviral medications are living longer, but have an increased risk of heart disease when compared to non-HIV-infected individuals. A hormone called aldosterone, which regulates blood pressure and sodium balance, is elevated in the HIV population in association with with increased belly fat and altered glucose metabolism. Elevations in aldosterone hormone may also be associated with abnormal blood flow, inflammation, and coronary plaque in the heart. This study is being conducted to evaluate whether therapies to reduce the actions of aldosterone may decrease the burden and progression of heart disease in the HIV population.
