Cardiac and autonomic evaluation in a pediatric population with human immunodeficiency virus

Background: Cardiac involvement in children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a well‐known entity and occurs clinically more often in patients with advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Autonomic dysfunction is less known, especially in children.
