HIV was independently associated with smaller LVDV and larger RVDV and LVM. Alterations in cardiac chamber volumes in PLWH were mainly minor. The clinical impact of these findings is uncertain, but it seems unlikely that alterations in cardiac chamber volumes explain the increased burden of cardiovascular disease previously observed in PLWH.
