Depressive Symptoms and Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Among Men and Women with HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

The prevalence of depressive symptoms and major depressive disorder is high among adults living with HIV. Depressive symptoms are associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. This study examined the association between depressive symptoms and echocardiographic indices of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) among men and women living with and without HIV.

Methods

Cross-sectional analysis included individuals in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS) and Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) who participated in transthoracic echocardiogram substudies and completed measures of depressive symptoms at the same visit as, or up to 6 months prior to, the transthoracic echocardiogram visit. Participants had helper T cells (CD4) >350 cells/mm
