Understanding heart, lung, blood, and sleep conditions in people with HIV
Links between Cardiovascular disease, Lung disease, and Obstructive sleep apnea in HIV: Understanding complex patients
This project aims to better understand how heart, lung, blood, and sleep conditions affect people living with HIV, including the role of new risk factors like COVID-19 and different medications.

What this research studies
People living with HIV often experience heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders, and this project wants to learn more about why. We are looking at how these conditions interact with each other and with factors like new medications, COVID-19, and social circumstances. By using a large database of over 37,000 people with HIV from multiple sites, we can identify patterns and improve screening methods for conditions like obstructive sleep apnea. Our goal is to find better ways to care for complex patients and improve their health outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Patients living with HIV who have or are at risk for cardiovascular, lung, blood, or sleep disorders are the focus of this research.
Not a fit: Patients without HIV or those not experiencing these specific co-occurring conditions may not directly benefit from this particular research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: This work could lead to improved screening, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders in people with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Previous work by this team successfully established methods for classifying heart attack types in people with HIV, providing a strong foundation for this expanded project.
