Objective. To study cardiovascular disease in patients with Stages 3 and 4 HIV infection.
Subjects and methods. Fifty patients (37 men and 13 women) were examined. 78% of them were aged 30 to 50 years. Fourteen patients were found to have Stage 3 (latent) HIV infection; 36 had Stage 4 (secondary diseases). The authors analyzed medical records, age, gender, the data of physical examination and laboratory studies, comorbidities, the results of electrocardiography, echocardiography, Doppler ultrasound of the brachiocephalic arteries, assisted reproductive technology (ART) regimens, and disease outcomes.
Results. Cardiac disease (CD) was detected in 29 (58%) patients. Tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (65.5%) was diagnosed more often than others. Comparing with the patients receiving ART showed that 14 of the 21 patients who did not have ART were found to have the disease. Three of the patients who received ART timely and regularly were diagnosed with CD. 
Conclusion. CD was detected in half of the patients with Stage 3 HIV infection and in 61% of those with Stage 4. CD occurred in both the patients who did not receive ART and in those who had ART regularly.
