Comparison of echocardiographic abnormalities with CD4 count.
| Echocardiographic abnormality | CD4<50/μL (n = 60) | CD4 50–199/μL (n = 80) | CD4 200–499/μL (n = 32) | CD4 >500/μL (n = 28) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LV diastolic dysfunction | 30 | 36 | 8 | 4 | 0.003 |
| Valvular regurgitation (MR, AR, PR, TR) | 20 | 24 | 14 | 3 | 0.045 |
| Reduced FS(<30%) | 10 | 42 | 8 | 4 | <0.00001 |
| Reduced LVEF (<50%) | 6 | 20 | 3 | 3 | 0.045 |
| Dilated cardiomyopathy | 5 | 15 | 2 | 2 | 0.119 |
| Pulmonary hypertension | 9 | 15 | 5 | 1 | 0.288 |
| Regional wall motion abnormality | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0.387 |
| Pericardial effusion | 4 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 0.041 |
MR, mitral regurgitation; AR, aortic regurgitation; PR, pulmonary regurgitation; TR, tricuspid regurgitation; FS, fractional shortening; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction.
