Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among Individuals With Versus Without HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A high proportion of individuals with HIV have hypertension, and the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is high in individuals with HIV.

Methods

We determined if the association between hypertension and CVD, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke, and heart failure, differs between individuals with and without HIV. We analyzed data for 108 980 adults with HIV matched (1:4) to 435 920 adults without HIV in 2011 to 2019 from the Marketscan database, which includes US adults with health insurance. The primary outcome, incident CVD, defined by an AMI, stroke or heart failure, was identified using validated claims-based algorithms.

Results

Over a median follow-up of 2.3 years, there were 4027 CVD events, including 2345 AMI, 1153 stroke, and 6
