Simple CT scan could reveal hidden heart risks in HIV patients
NCT ID NCT07662161
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether a simple coronary CT scan can detect early signs of heart disease in people with HIV. Researchers will measure calcium buildup in the heart arteries of 384 Mexican adults with HIV who have undetectable viral loads. The goal is to better understand why HIV increases heart disease risk, even in those without traditional risk factors.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better predict heart disease risk in people with HIV, potentially leading to earlier prevention strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It measures risk but does not test any intervention, so direct health benefits are not guaranteed.
