Abstract

HIV infection is frequently associated with cardiovascular involvement. Particularly new treatment concepts, including the highly active antiretroviral therapy, are suspected to increase the rate of cardiac and cardiovascular complications in this patient population. Hence, noninvasive techniques such as transthoracic echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging will become more important in the routine screening as well as in specific diagnostics of cardiovascular involvement of HIV infection. The present article describes the options of these noninvasive techniques for the detection of HIV-associated cardiac manifestations.
