Background:  Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an emerging complication in HIV-infected patients under HAART, but specific characteristics of ACS in HIV-infected patients remain unknown.

Methods:  Between September 2003 and March 2006, we enrolled prospectively 104 HIV+ patients and 184 controls (HIV–) admitted for ACS matched for age (±5 years), gender, and type of ACS in 20 different intensive care cardiolgy units.

Results:  The mean age of patients was 48.7±9.1 years, and 92.7% were men. Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics are shown in the table. The most frequent type of ACS was ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (52.1%), then unstable angina (26.1%) and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (21.5%). At admission, Killip class 2 or more was more frequent in HIV+ than HIV– participants (8.9% vs 3.4%, p = 0.049). However, left ventricular ejection fraction was similar in both groups (54.2% vs 54.5%, p = 0.79). Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed less frequently in HIV+ than HIV– (72.6% vs 86.3%, p = 0.005) as the use of GPIIbIIIa (31.7% vs 45.1%, p = 0.026), but with the same procedural immediate success rate achieved (97%) and rate of stenting (96%). The rate of bare metal and drug-eluting stents implanted was similar in both groups (63% vs 64%, p = 0.5 and 37% vs 36%, p = 0.9, respectively).

Conclusions:  HIV-infected patients did not differ from non-HIV-infected patients regarding baseline clinical and angiogaphic characteristics during a first episode of ACS. Follow-up of this observational prospective study will continue during 3 years.
