NIH-funded research project studying heart failure with preserved ejection fraction among persons with HIV in South Africa, involving clinical and immunologic factor analysis and imaging studies.
Description
The project aims to estimate the prevalence of heart failure due to ventricular dysfunction in South Africa and explore clinical and immunologic factors related to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) among persons living with HIV. The project involves enrollment of persons with HIV and uninfected controls, echocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
