Pericardial Fat and Inflammation in HIV Patients and Controls

NCT02399384 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Last updated 2020-01-18

No results posted yet for this study

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.
