People with HIV are at risk of heart failure due to damaged blood vessels and kidney function

According to new research, people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have impaired blood vessel function that increases cardiovascular disease risk (ATVB). Among individuals with HIV and kidney disease, the correlation between impaired blood vessel function and cardiovascular disease was particularly strong. The leading cause of death for people living with HIV is cardiovascular disease, but the reasons for the powerful association have not been clear. Even when HIV is well-controlled, this study indicates a link between HIV and damaged blood vessels. In contrast to individuals without HIV, people living with HIV infection had around 1 percent lower flow-mediated dilation (indicating reduced blood vessel function). A 1 percent lower flow-mediated dilation is associated with a 10 percent to 11 percent increased potential risk of cardiovascular disease for middle- and older-aged adults to put this result into perspective. The biomedical focus of the first two decades of the HIV outbreak was to prevent and treat life-threatening infections. However, now that successful antiretroviral therapy (ART) in high-income countries is widely available, deaths from life-threatening infections are rare. HIV-positive individuals are living longer as a result. When they grow older, HIV individuals become prone to all the problems caused by ageing, like CVD. In addition to this, ongoing HIV infection may increase the risk of CVD, particularly if left untreated. This occurs because your body's continuing HIV replication causes your immune system to be in a continuous state of inflammation. Continuous inflammation releases chemical messengers called cytokines over the long-term that affect the body, destroy tissues and weaken them.. The main aim of our journal (Journal of HIV and AIDS Research) is to draws readers' attention to the latest advances in HIV research in the fields of prevention, care and cure. The peoples who are interested to publish their article they can submit their manuscripts in our journal through given link: https://www.scholarscentral.org/submissions/hiv-aids-research.html
