Biventricular diastolic function assessed by Doppler echocardiogram in children vertically infected with human immunodeficiency virus
Objective: to determine, by Doppler‐echocardiography, the frequency of cardiac diastolic dysfunction in asymptomatic and clinically stable pediatric patients with vertical infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), from the cardiovascular viewpoint. Methods: this was an observational, pros...

Methods: this was an observational, prospective, and cross‐sectional study, performed at a regional referral clinic for patients with HIV, in a convenience sample of 94 individuals, assessing biventricular diastolic function by Doppler‐echocardiography, and weight, blood hemoglobin, and percentage of lymphocytes T‐CD4+.
