A recent study published in Nature Communications reveals the discovery of a protein signature in the blood of individuals with HIV that correlates with aging and increased heart failure risk. Researchers believe this insight may lead to novel treatment approaches for heart failure in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals. With around 40 million people globally living with HIV, this study underscores the connection between chronic inflammation, elevated health risks, and heart conditions, particularly due to HIV’s effects on the immune system and associated comorbidities such as obesity and mental health issues.
An estimated 40 million people globally are currently living with HIV, which attacks the immune system and increases risk of heart failure.
This unique protein signature discovered in HIV-positive individuals may be the key to targeting heart failure treatments for both HIV and non-HIV patients.
