Variable	HIV− (N = 19)	HIV+ (N = 27)	p-value^*
Posterior wall (cm)	1.02 ± 0.17	1.06 ± 0.22	0.50
Interventricular septum (cm)	1.07 ± 0.15	1.08 ± 0.29	0.87
LV mass (g)	174.4 ± 40.1	185.8 ± 63.3	0.53
LV mass index (g/m²)	59.9 ± 15.0	61.7 ± 21.2	0.76
LV Ejection fraction (%)	59 ± 7	60 ± 7	0.61
Mitral Flow Deceleration time (sec)	0.26 ± 0.08	0.25 ± 0.06	0.68
E wave (cm/sec)	80.9 ± 13.2	75.0 ± 21.1	0.34
A wave (cm/sec)	57.3 ± 8.8	57.3 ± 17.3	1.00
E/A ratio	1.42 ± 0.19	1.35 ± 0.37	0.51

HIV+, HIV−positive group; HIV−, HIV−negative group; LV, left ventricular.

Between-group differences were compared by Student's t tests for continuous variables and chi-square tests for categorical variables.
