Cardiomegaly, seen postmortem in over 50% of HIV-infected children, may occur in the absence of clinical or histopathologic cardiac disease. Premortem echocardiography has also demonstrated clinical and subclinical cardiac disease, including increased left ventricular mass (LVM) and functional abnormalities. No studies have compared these echocardiographic measures of heart size and function with postmortem findings in this population. We sought to determine the postmortem prevalence, clinicopathologic relationships and importance of cardiomegaly in HIV-infected children.
