  1. Bold values indicate p value of ≤ 0.05
  2. Continuous variables are mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range) unless otherwise specified
  3. LV left ventricle, RV right ventricle, SIR Signal intensity ratio, ECV Extracellular volume, LGE late gadolinium enhancement
  4. *20 copies/ml (log = 1.3) is the lower limit of measurement for our HIV-1 assay
