Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in HIV-uninfected infants exposed in utero to antiretroviral therapy

To longitudinally measure LV diastolic function in HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) children perinatally exposed to ART.HEU children who were perinatally exposed to antiretroviral therapy (ART) may be at risk for adverse cardiac effects. We have previously reported that those children have decreased left ventricular (LV) mass, dimension, and septal thickness with increased contractility.Serial echocardiograms were obtained at specific times from...
