Coronary artery calcium score in Mexican HIV patients
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at heart health in people living with HIV by using a special heart scan to check for calcium buildup in the arteries. It aims to see if HIV or its treatment affects heart disease risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had an HIV diagnosis for more than 6 months
- Your HIV viral load is undetectable (meaning the virus is at a very low level in your blood)
- You have not taken statins (cholesterol-lowering medication)
- You have not had heart disease that required stenting or bypass surgery

This study uses a CT heart scan (with a calcium score) to better understand risk in people with suspected coronary artery disease. You may be asked to have scan-based measurements and then be followed for at least a year.
This trial uses a low-dose CT scan of the heart’s arteries to measure coronary artery calcification in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand heart calcium buildup and may help improve risk assessment for people with diabetes.
This study looks at coronary calcium (a signal seen on heart scans) to help measure early or late heart blood-vessel problems in people who had cancer treatment as children or young adults. The goal is to better understand who may be at higher risk years later, especially after radiation or certain chemotherapy.
This study uses artificial intelligence to look at routine chest CT scans and check for calcium buildup in the heart arteries, which can signal heart disease risk. It aims to see if this can catch heart problems early without needing extra scans.
This trial studies whether using a heart CT “calcium score” to guide prevention can lower the chance of major heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes who have other heart risk factors. It may help by targeting prevention more personally, based on your calcium score.
This study collects heart and blood vessel images from people who have already had a coronary CT scan. It aims to learn more about heart health and may help future patients.
