Figure 1. Conceptual Model: Evolution of HIV-Related Causes of Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality.

Figure 1.

Dilated cardiomyopathy and myopericarditis were common complications of advanced HIV/AIDS in the pre-ART era. As PLHIV are living longer due to ART, they are increasingly at risk for more common cardiovascular complications, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure (including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). These complications account for an increasing proportion of HIV-related cardiovascular disease.
