Violin plot showed differences in cardiac parameters between patients living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and controls, and AIDS and HIV+ groups, *p < .05; **p < .01; ns: no significant difference; AIDS, acquired immune deficiency syndrome; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; (A) LAD, left atrium diameter; (B) LVEDD, left ventricular end‐diastolic diameter; (C) LVMI, left ventricular mass index; (D) LAVI, left atrial volume index; (E) LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; (F) LVFS, left ventricular fractional shortening; (G) Mitral E/A ratio of early‐diastolic LV inflow velocity (E) to atrial‐systolic velocity (A); (H) Average E/e′ ratio of early‐diastolic LV inflow velocity (E) to early‐diastolic mitral annular velocity (e′).
