Description
Matthew Durstenfeld and six co-authors study heart failure in people with HIV who use safety-net care, in this 2024 paper. HIV raises heart failure risk, but outcomes inside public systems, where half of Americans with HIV get care, were poorly mapped. The team used records from a city safety-net system spanning 2001 to 2019, linked to national death data.
Of 14,829 people with heart failure, 697 had HIV. They were diagnosed about ten years younger, and more of them had a weak heart pump at diagnosis. Heart artery disease rates were similar once age and risk factors were counted. Yet death risk ran 55 percent higher with HIV, while hospital stays for heart failure were less likely. Deaths were more often tied to substance use or HIV itself than to heart causes. The authors urge care that looks past the heart.
