PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT People with HIV (PWH) have a heightened coronary artery disease (CAD) and adverse event risk even after controlling for traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. Hence, there is an unmet need for improved CV risk stratification among PWH. HIV infection is associated with increased systemic immune activation and inflammation that is not part of the traditional CV risk assessment. Importantly, work to date in PWH has been limited to evaluating systemic inflammatory biomarkers or utilizing functional imaging assessments of vascular inflammation at vessels larger than the coronary arteries. Assessing large vessels prevents direct assessment of the local coronary…
