Summary

This study looked at medical records of over 2,000 people with HIV from racial and ethnic minority groups to see if seeing a heart specialist (cardiologist) helps prevent heart disease. Researchers found that those referred to a cardiologist had better heart outcomes. The goal is to use this information to design better care for people with HIV who are at higher risk for heart problems.
