Pericardial Adipose Tissue Volume Is Independently Associated With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Status and Prior Use of Stavudine, Didanosine, or Indinavir

Background Increased pericardial adipose tissue is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease. We aimed to determine whether human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status was independently associated with larger pericardial adipose tissue volume and to explore possible HIV-specific risk factors.
