A STUDY OF THE CARDIAC MANIFESTATIONS IN HIV POSITIVE INDIVIDUALS AND ITS CORRELATION WITH DISEASE SEVERITY AND FRAMINGHAM RISK SCORE

Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of death in HIV patients. The number of HIV patients suffering from cardiovascular disease is almost twice as high as that of patients who are not HIV-positive. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk of cardiovascular disease among HIV-positive persons. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study with HIV positive individuals at public health center and non-AIDS govermental organization. We enrolled people diagnosed with HIV, age over 30 years old, and on CVD medications. We collected data of demographic, anthropometric and clinical information, smoking history, and non-fasting cholesterol and blood glucose. Estimation of 10-years CVD risk was calculated using the BMI-based Framingham Risk Score. Results Of 150 participants enrolled, 66.7% were male and mean age was 38.09 (SD = 7.99) years. The mean current CD4 counts was 493.3 (SD = 139.8) cells/mm3. Female were younger, had a shorter duration living with HIV and a shorted duration of receiving ART than males. About 8.7% of respondents had a high risk of developing a CVD event in the next 10 years, and higher among females than males. The most common CVD risk factors were smoking, high blood pressure, and hypercholestrolemia. Conclusion Our study demonstrates that HIV positive persons who are at risk for developing CVD in the next 10-years. There is an increasing need for educational programs on CVD prevention for the HIV-positive person and to further facilitate the identification of persons at elevated risk in routine practice.

Background: High sensitivity C reactive protein is a protein that occur in acute phase of inflammation. hs-CRP is considered as a predict factor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk. Framingham risk score is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk and death. In Viet Nam there was still few studies about hs-CRP and Framingham risk score. Objective: To study the concentration of hs-CRP in peoples in Hue city, also the correlation of hs-CRP and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factor, Framingham risk score. Methods: Clinical data of 1471 people age from 30-74 living in Hue city. We do clinical exam, paraclinical exam. We find out the correlations between hs-CRP and the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factor, the correlations between hs-CRP and Framingham risk score. Results: (i) The concentration of hs-CRP of people in Hue city was 1.54 ± 3.81 mg/l. The concentration of hs-CRP in hyper cholesterol, hyper LDL, hypertension, smoke, obesity and hypo HDL group was significant higher than in the others groups (p<0.05). There was positive significant correlation between the concentration of hs-CRP and systolic blood pressure r=0.061(p< 0.05); (ii) There was positive significant correlation betwee the concentration of hs-CRP and cardiovascular risk (r=0.083; p<0.01) cerebrovascular risk (r=0.068; p<0.05). Conclusions: hs-CRP was a predict risk factor in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. Key words: hs-CRP, Framingham, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular
