HIV and heart artery calcium study in Mexico
Part of Immune system & allergy, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at the amount of calcium in the heart arteries of people with HIV. It aims to understand heart disease risk in this group, and uses a simple CT scan to measure calcium buildup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with HIV for at least 6 months.
- Your HIV viral load must be undetectable (meaning the virus is not active in your blood).
- You cannot have taken statins (cholesterol medicine) before.
- You cannot have had a stent or bypass surgery for heart disease.

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 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.
This study looks at a type of fat in the blood called lipoprotein(a) and how it relates to calcium buildup in the heart arteries. Researchers are using CT scans to learn more about this connection in people who are at medium risk for heart problems.
This study is testing whether a new blood test can detect the amount of plaque buildup in your heart arteries compared to what a CT scan shows. It may help people with known or suspected coronary artery disease get a simpler, faster way to check their heart health.
This study uses a follow-up CT scan of your heart arteries to see how diabetes-related plaque buildup changes over time. It may help researchers understand how well current diabetes treatments are protecting your heart.
