In this issue of the Journal, Barbaro and colleagues present the results of a large, prospective study of dilated cardiomyopathy in adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.¹ This study confirms the frequency of dilated cardiomyopathy in HIV-infected patients and demonstrates high rates of immunologic and infectious heart disease. Cardiovascular abnormalities are common in HIV-infected patients,^2,3,4,5,6,7 are often difficult to diagnose clinically, and are frequently attributed incorrectly to dysfunction in other organ systems. If these abnormalities are diagnosed early through screening, preventive and therapeutic strategies for progressive left ventricular dysfunction can be applied.⁶
