The Role of Intersectional Stigma in Coronary Artery Disease Among Cisgender Women Aging with HIV
Cisgender women living with HIV experience elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk that increases with age, a concern given extended life expectancies for people living with HIV. The CVD risk disparity among cisgender women aging with HIV is understudied and remains unclear. Taking a psychoneuroimmunology approach, given this group's intersecting marginalized identities, one potential driver of the disparity is intersectional stigma. Yet not a…
Systemic Inflammation and Cognitive Decrements in Patients With Stage B Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the role of systemic inflammation in reduced cognitive functioning in patients with early-stage heart failure (HF) while determining associations with other cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS: Patients with stage B HF (n = 270; mean [standard deviation] age = 66.1 [10.1] years) were examined cross-sectionally for relationships among cardiovascular disease (CVD) and psychological risk factors, C-reactiv…
The contribution of syndemic conditions to cardiovascular disease risk
The syndemic conditions of low education, childhood maltreatment, depression, HIV, alcohol and cocaine use, and obesity have been established as independent risk factors for cardiovascular risk, but research examining the association between syndemic conditions and cardiovascular risk in high-risk populations is lacking. A total of N = 503 participants underwent an ultrasound of the carotid artery to assess for atherosclerotic plaque. Participant…
HIV and carotid atherosclerosis
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the US and is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV (PLWH). This study examined the association between HIV infection, cocaine usage, and inflammatory markers, and their combined association with carotid atherosclerosis among young and middle-aged adults with HIV. Participants (N = 494) were enrolled based on HIV status and cocaine use. Blood p…
Sympathoimmune Anomalies Underlying the Response to Stressful Challenge in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Spectrum Disease
Objective: This study examined immune, endocrine, and cardiovascular reactivity during stressful behavioral challenge in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive (HIV+) and seronegative (HIV−) men and women and assessed whether immunocellular reactivity was differentially associated with concomitant alterations in sympathetic response. Methods: The 133 HIV+ [84 asymptomatic, 49 symptomatic] and 92 HIV− subjects completed a speech stress re…
Psychological Distress is Associated With Decreased Memory Helper T-cell and B-cell Counts in Pre-Aids HIV Seropositive Men and Women but Only in Those With Low Viral Load
OBJECTIVE: Although some studies have demonstrated the association of psychological distress and diminished immune system function in HIV spectrum disease, other studies have yielded apparently conflicting findings; the lack of consideration of the role of HIV viral burden may be central to this controversy. This study examined whether HIV viral burden moderated the relationship between psychological distress and enumerative and functional immune…
Cardiovascular Stress Responses and Their Relation to Symptoms in Gulf War Veterans With Fatiguing Illness
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine whether inappropriate cardiovascular responses to stressors may underlie symptoms in Gulf War veterans with chronic fatigue. METHODS: Psychophysiological stress testing was performed on 51 Gulf War veterans with chronic fatigue (using the 1994 case definition of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and 42 healthy veterans. Hemodynamic responses to cold pressor, speech, and arithmeti…
Influence of Ethnicity and Gender on Cardiovascular Responses to Active Coping and Inhibitory-Passive Coping Challenges
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to evaluate how black and white men and women responded physiologically to specific laboratory challenges. METHODS: Hemodynamic responses to an active coping (evaluated speaking) and two inhibitory-passive coping (mirror tracing, cold pressor) tasks were examined in 138 black and white men and women. RESULTS: Significant ethnicity by gender interactions occurred for the evaluated speaking task. Black men resp…
