Abstract

Endothelial dysfunction constitutes an early pathophysiological event in atherogenesis and cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, determinants, and degree of endothelial dysfunction in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-treated people living with HIV (PLWH) in northwestern Nigeria using brachial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD).
