Abstract
Transthoracic echocardiography was performed on 27 patients with human immunodificiency virus after weight loss and in 20 lean controls. Left ventricular mass index was significantly higher and left ventricular fractional shortening was significantly lower in patients with human immunodificiency virus after weight loss than in lean, normal controls.
