Evolving understanding of cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral arterial disease in people living with HIV and role of novel biomarkers. A study of the Spanish CoRIS cohort, 2004-2015.

Vascular events in PLWH do preferentially occur in the older age-strata, they are associated with increased mortality and, compared to the general population, the excess risk occurs at younger ages. Peripheral arterial disease is unusual. Vascular events are preceded by increased levels of sICAM, pro-BNP and, marginally, sCD14.
