Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality among people living with HIV (PLWH). We aimed to assess the prevalence of diagnosed CVD and the risk of CVD among PLWH using 5 different tools.
Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in 20 tertiary centers in Türkiye between October 2021 and March 2022, among 1425 PLWH aged 40-75 years. About 82.7% were male, with a median age of 51. Web-based tools for each score were used for CVD risk calculations.
Results: Of 1425 PLWH enrolled, 10.8% had confirmed CVD, and 1132 had their risk scores evaluated. Of those participants, 42.8% had a higher risk of CVD (10-year risk of atherosclerotic CVD risk score (ASCVD) above 7.5%), and according to the European Society of Cardiology systemic coronary risk evaluation 2 (SCORE2), 71.7% had a high- to very high-risk rate. The agreement between various CVD risk tools varied, with Framingham heart study risk score (FRS), modified FRS, data collection on adverse effects of anti-HIV drugs (DAD), and SCORE2 for high-risk countries showing overall agreement rates of 82%, 94%, 91%, and 36%, respectively, compared to ASCVD. According to the 2021 European and 2019 American Cardiology guidelines, 75.3% and 47.1% of PLWH would be eligible for lipid-lowering agents, respectively.
Conclusion: The diagnosed CVD prevalence highlighted the importance of monitoring cardiovascular health and comorbidities in this population. SCORE2 identified a greater number of individuals at high/very high risk compared to other prediction tools. The implementation of CVD prevention through lipid-lowering therapy was far from desired levels in our cohort.

Background: Viral myocarditis (VMC) is a common cardiovascular disease, and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been identified to play an important role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. However, the clinical significance, biological functions, and regulatory mechanisms of circRNAs in VMC remain poorly understood. Therefore, this study explored the biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of circ-ACSL1 in VMC.
Methods: The animal and cell models of VMC were established by infecting BABL/C mice and interleukin-2 cells with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Pro-inflammatory factors, markers of myocardial injury, apoptosis, and autophagy were detected to evaluate the degree of myocardial inflammation and myocardial injury after altering circ-ACSL1, microRNA-7-5p (miR-7-5p), and X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) expression alone or in combination.
Results: Knocking down circ-ACSL1 could inhibit inflammation, autophagy, and apoptosis in VMC animals and cells. Mechanistically, circ-ACSL1 targeted miR-7-5p to regulate the downstream target XBP1. In addition, depleting miR-7-5p rescued the therapeutic effect of depleting circ-ACSL1. Overexpression of circ-ACSL1 aggravated VMC; however, this effect was saved by knocking down XBP1.
Conclusion: By competitively absorbing miR-7-5p, circ-ACSL1 increases XBP1 expression and aggravates myocardial inflammation. Meaningfully, VMC treatment may benefit from circ-ACSL1 as a potential biomarker for precise diagnosis and as a potential therapeutic target.
