Objective To study the changes of left ventricular structure and functions in AIDS patients with NAFLD after long-term HAART treatment. Methods Clinical data of 42 cases of AIDS patients complicated with hyperlipidemia were collected and studied, retrospectively. Indexes of BMI, blood pressure, durations of HAART treatments, fasting serum lipid, CD4 counts were focused on. Ultrasound scan imaging was applied to detect hepatic steatosis. The changes of left ventricular structure and functions were explored by color Doppler echocardiography. Results Prevalence of NAFLD in AIDS patients after HAART treatment was 66.7%. In AIDS patients with NAFLD, BMI was (23.61 ± 2.55)㎏/㎡, peak velocity at late diastole (A value) was (55.61 ± 13.12) ㎝/s and E/A ratio was (1.19 ± 0.29);while in non-NAFLD patients, BMI was (22.06 ± 1.96)㎏/㎡, A value was (43.36 ± 10.88) ㎝/s and E/A ratio was (1.65 ± 0.41), respectively. Conclusions Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction were found in AIDS patients with NAFLD after long-term HAART and the systolic function decreased in some degree in these patients.
