Primary outcomePrimary: Coronary Endothelial Function Measured by Percent Change in Coronary Blood Flow With Exercise (%) at 8 Weeks — 8.1; 13.4 Percent change from rest measurement
Summary
The investigators are studying whether an anti-inflammatory intervention improves impaired coronary endothelial function (CEF) in HIV+ people with no clinical coronary artery disease (CAD).
