Abstract

The review examined the role of arterial inflammation in atherogenesis and the pathogenic factors responsible for the high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among HIV-infected patients. Inflammation has been shown to play an important role in all phases of atherosclerotic CVD. HIV-infected patients have an increased tendency to CVD. The most effective radionuclide method of imaging the inflammatory process in the pathogenesis of CVD among HIV-infected people is F-18 FDG PET/CT. At the present stage, several ligands for visualization were synthesized, which were used to identify vascular inflammation in preclinical and clinical studies. These tracers, in addition to F-18 FDG, have significant potential for future use among HIV-infected patients. Key words: atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, positron emission tomography, HIV infection.
