Baseline, Time-updated, and Cumulative HIV Care Metrics for Predicting Acute Myocardial Infarction and All-Cause Mortality.

 After adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors and despite higher mortality, those with HIV (HIV+) have a greater risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) than uninfected individuals. We modeled the association of baseline, time-updated, and cumulative measures of HIV-1 RNA, CD4 count, and the VACS Index on AMI incidence and mortality.
