HIV Program Webinar Series: Immunopathogenesis of HIV-Related Cardiovascular Diseases

Virtual
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET

Description

This NHLBI HIV/AIDS Program webinar features Matthew J. Feinstein, M.D., M.Sc., Associate Professor of Medicine (Cardiology), Preventive Medicine (Epidemiology), and Pathology, and Director of Student Research at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (NUFSM). In this talk, Dr. Feinstein will first provide a brief overview of the changing scope and presentation of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) among people with HIV (PWH). Next, he will discuss the immunopathogenesis of HIV-associated athero-thrombotic disease and heart failure, including known and unknown mechanisms, as well as the potential implications for diagnosis and therapy. Finally, he will explore practical interim approaches, given limited clinical data to guide decision-making, to preventing and treating CVDs in PWH.

Matthew J. Feinstein, M.D., M.Sc.
Associate Professor in the Departments of Medicine (Cardiovascular Diseases), Preventive Medicine (Epidemiology), and Pathology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (NUFSM)
Dr. Matthew Feinstein is a cardiologist and physician-scientist focusing on immune plasticity in CVDs, with particular interest in human models of chronic immune dysregulation, including HIV. His goal is to refine targets that reprogram immune responses to ultimately resolve pathologic inflammation.
