Cardiovascular
Credibility 80
Systemic inflammation, myocardial fibrosis, and subclinical cardiovascular disease in people living with HIV.
July 4, 2026 · American heart journal
Key takeaway
Black folks with HIV may face higher risks for heart problems due to inflammation. This study suggests HIV could lead to heart scarring and weaker heart function, making it critical to watch our heart health closely.
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cardiovascular helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
