Brief Description:
In this talk, we will expand our focus of cardiovascular disease in HIV and understand the pathophysiology of altered coronary and myocardial structure and function. We will recognize a novel role for the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in inflammation. In addition, we will distinguish unique RAAS physiology among persons with HIV at risk for metabolic disease, which may be a paradigm for other groups at risk for metabolic disease. Finally, we will understand the potential of mineralocorticoid receptor blockade to reduce inflammatory-mediated cardiometabolic disease in HIV.
