Abstract
In this cross-sectional study MR imaging demonstrated that c-VWT, a known marker for CVD risk, was increased in PLWH relative to controls, and that 10-year ASCVD risk was closely related to c-VWT, independent of HIV infection. Our data suggest that traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors in PLWH are adequately captured in the ASCVD risk score which was closely associated with subclinical carotid disease.
