Background-Patients with HIV have increased risk for cardiovascular disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of echocardiographic abnormalities among asymptomatic HIV-infected individuals compared with HIV-uninfected individuals.Methods/Results-We performed echocardiography in 196 HIV-infected adults and 52 controls. Left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular mass indexed to the body surface area, and diastolic function were assessed according to American Society of Echocardiography standards. Left ventricular mass index was higher in HIV-infected patients (77.2 g/m(2) in patients with HIV versus 66.5 g/m(2) in controls, P
