Description
Chunyan Deng and colleagues use heart scans to ask whether years lived with HIV leave marks on the heart muscle, in a 2026 study. Modern drug therapy has turned HIV into a long term condition, yet heart injury stays a worry. Eighty three adults with HIV, split into under and over five years of infection, were compared with thirty four matched adults without the virus.
Both HIV groups showed more water held in the heart wall and slower tissue signals than the control group, signs of early change. The longer infection group stood out further, with more scar like tissue, a thicker wall relative to chamber size, and weaker squeeze motion. Scan based models sorted early infection and long infection well. The authors offer the scan markers as a way to catch heart change early.
