Abstract

Objectives: increased incidence of acute coronary events, high rate of abnormal surrogate markers of atherosclerosis and increased amount of coronary calcium have been described in HIV infected population. To expand knowledge on coronary artery disease (CAD) in HIV patients, cardiac CT scan was performed in asymptomatic subjects with low cardiovascular (CV) risk. Methods: A cross-sectional study using dual-source CT (MDCT) coronary angiography. was conducted in HIV-infected subjects with the following characteristics: Framingham Risk Score (FRS)
