HFpEF is a complex syndrome with high mortality: 50% of persons with HFpEF die within 5 years of diagnosis. Rates of HFpEF and diastolic dysfunction – the key structural abnormality underlying HFpEF – are significantly higher for PWH than people without HIV, with recent studies finding a 4-8-fold higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction for PWH than people…
