Article Synopsis
- Limited data exist on heart disease among HIV patients in southern Africa, where improved life expectancy due to antiretroviral therapy (ART) intersects with high cardiovascular risk factors.
- A study in Malawi screened 202 HIV-positive adults for heart abnormalities, finding that left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was the most common issue, while severe heart conditions were rare.
- Older age, higher body mass index, and elevated blood pressure were linked to abnormal echocardiograms, with a focus on the need for additional research to explore the connections between hypertension, LVH, and related heart conditions.
