Metabolites predict cardiovascular disease events in persons living with HIV: a pilot case-control study.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
Introduction: Persons living with HIV (PLWH) are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events than uninfected persons. Current risk-stratification methods to define PLWH at highest risk for CVD events are lacking. Methods: Using tandem flow injection mass spectrometry, we quantified plasma levels of 60 metabolites in 24 matched pairs of PLWH [1:1 with and without known coronary artery disease (CAD)]. Metabolite levels were reduced to interpretable factors using principal components analysis. Results: Factors derived from short-chain dicarboxylacylcarnitines (SCDA) (p = 0.08) and glutamine/valine (p = 0.003) were elevated in CAD cases compared to controls. Conclusion: SCDAs and glutamine/valine may be valuable markers of cardiovascular risk among persons living with HIV in the future, pending validation in larger cohorts.
