Increased Left Ventricular Posterior Wall End-Diastolic Thickness in Adolescents With Delayed Diagnosis of Vertically Acquired HIV Infection
To the Editors: At least a third of HIV-infected infants have slow progressing disease and even without HIV treatment have a 50% probability of surviving to adolescence. Hence, substantial numbers of adolescents, infected before interventions to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission became available, are presenting to clinical services with undiagnosed HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. A high burde...
متن کاملChronic Lung Disease in Adolescents With Delayed Diagnosis of Vertically Acquired HIV Infection
BACKGROUND Long-term survivors of vertically acquired human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are reaching adolescence in large numbers in Africa and are at high risk of delayed diagnosis and chronic complications of untreated HIV infection. Chronic respiratory symptoms are more common than would be anticipated based on the HIV literature. METHODS Consecutive adolescents with presumed ve...
متن کاملCardiac Disease in Adolescents With Delayed Diagnosis of Vertically Acquired HIV Infection
BACKGROUND At least one-third of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected infants survive to adolescence even without antiretroviral therapy (ART), but are at high risk of complications including cardiac disease. We investigated the characteristics of cardiac disease among adolescents with HIV infection diagnosed in late childhood who were receiving ambulatory HIV care in Harare, Zimbabwe. ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Wall Thickness Determined
Left ventricula wall thickness (LVWT) was measured by ultrasound in 100 subjects without heart disease. The data on both diastolic (LVWT,) and systolic (LVWT,) thickness were related to sex, age, weight, height, heart volume (HV), and ECG voltage criteria. LVWT, was greater in men (P<0.01) but LVWT, was of the same magnitude in both sexes. In both sexes LVWT, and LVWT, increased with age (P<0.0...
متن کاملThe effect of acute changes in coronary blood flow on left ventricular end-diastolic wall thickness. An echocardiographic study.
The effect of acute alterations in coronary blood flow (CBF) on left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic wall thickness was measured by reflected ultrasound in twelve anesthetized dogs. During five minutes of coronary ligation, wall thickness decreased from a control of 9.0 +/- 0.3 mm to 8.1 +/- 0.3 mm (P less than 0.001); during reperfusion (reactive hyperemia), wall thickness was greater than cont...
