Whether this risk is specific to HF with preserved ejection fraction (PEF) vs reduced ejection fraction (REF), and whether survival differs between HFPEF and HFREF among HIV+ people is unknown. Methods: We analyzed data on 80,226 (33% HIV+) participants in the Veterans Aging Cohort Study-Virtual Cohort (VACS-VC). VACS-VC consists of a sample of HIV+ people each matched on age, gender, race/ethnicity, and clinical site to 2 uninfected veterans also in care. After restricting the sample to those free of baseline cardiovascular disease, we analyzed data on HIV status, age, gender, race/ethnicity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, hepatitis C infection, body mass index, renal disease, anemia, substance use, and incidence of total HF, HFPEF, and HFREF from October 2003-January 2010. HF was determined by International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision (ICD-9) codes and EF was assessed from echocardiographic data abstracted from medical records. A reduced EF was <40% and preserved EF was ≥40%. Results: During a median follow-up of 5.9 years, there were 1250 HF events (41% among HIV+). Of these events, 55% were HFPEF; 33% were HFREF; and 12% were unknown type (i.e., no echocardiographic data was available). There was no difference in these proportions by HIV status. HF rates per 1000 person-years and risks of specific types of HF by HIV status are presented in the Table 1. Among those with HF, rates (95% confidence intervals [CI]) of total mortality per 1000 person-years by type of HF and HIV status were as follows: uninfected HFPEF, 45.4 (37.5-55.0); uninfected HFREF, 54.8 (43.1-69.6); HIV+ HFPEF, 90.1 (75.3-107.7); HIV+ HFREF, 103.9 (84.5-127.8); uninfected unknown type, 16.0 (15.5-16.4); HIV+ unknown type, 39.1 (38.0-40.2). HIV+ Veterans with HF had higher rates of mortality than uninfected veterans but survival did not differ by HF type (p = 0.15). Conclusions: HIV infection is associated with an increased risk of HFPEF and HFREF. Among those with HF, HIV+ veterans had higher rates of mortality but survival did not differ significantly by type of heart failure.
