| Popis: | Hypertension is associated with cardiovascular disease in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected population. The authors aimed to test the hypothesis whether advanced immunosuppression with low nadir CD4 lymphocyte cell count is a predictor of sustained hypertension in HIV-infected individuals. In a longitudinal study of an HIV cohort of 434 patients (43±11 years, 72% men, 71% Caucasians), standardized blood pressure was measured in duplicate during 3 clinical visits both at baseline and after 3.4±0.8 years. The lowest CD4 cell count in the individual history was recorded as nadir CD4. Both nadir CD4 cell count |
