Measure
HIV Mono-Infected
Patients infected with HIV only, and not currently or previously infected with hepatitis C. Cardiac MRI: Cardiac MRI to assess for myocardial function and fibrosis
Hepatitis C Mono-Infected
Patients infected with Hepatitis C and have no evidence of active HIV or hepatitis B infection Elbasvir / Grazoprevir Oral Tablet \[Zepatier\]: All approved direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C will be used as the intervention. Cardiac MRI: Cardiac MRI to assess for myocardial function and fibrosis
HIV and Hepatitis C Co-Infected
Patients co-infected with HIV and hepatitis C, and have no evidence of active hepatitis B infection. Elbasvir / Grazoprevir Oral Tablet \[Zepatier\]: All approved direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C will be used as the intervention. Cardiac MRI: Cardiac MRI to assess for myocardial function and fibrosis

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 72 weeks after functional cure of HCV

Population: 13 participants were analyzed in the hepatitis C mono-infected group and 1 participant in the HIV-HCV co-infected group since other participants were lost to follow-up and week 72 data was available for these participants only.

Standard Deviation 0.96
0 mg/L
Standard Deviation 0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 48 weeks after functional cure of HCV

Population: Data on troponin I and T were not collected for any of the participants, therefore the outcome cannot be reported
