AIDS Seminar - Cardiovascular Disease in HIV: Physiologic Insights Derived from the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System

Learning Objectives:

• Expand the focus of cardiovascular disease in HIV and understand the pathophysiology of altered coronary and myocardial structure and function.
• Recognize a novel role for the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in inflammation.
• 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.
• Understand the potential of mineralocorticoid receptor blockade to reduce inflammatory-mediated cardiometabolic disease in HIV.
