Especially patients with low CD4+ counts have a higher incidence of structural heart disease. Myocardial T1 relaxation time, as well as T1-derived extracellular volume fraction are relatively new methods for non-invasive myocardial tissue characterization, including diffuse myocardial fibrosis.\n\nIn our study HIV-patients with high and low CD4+ counts are examined on a 3T MRI scanner (Ingenia 3T, Philips Medical, Best, Netherlands). Scanning protocol includes common SSFP sequences, STIR imaging and LGE \\[Late gadolinium enhancement\\]. All HIV patients are treated in the HIV outpatient clinic of the hospital's Internal Medicine department and have an unremarkable history of cardiac disease. Patients are recruited from all over Germany. In order to obtain reference values, a subgroup of healthy, age-matched controls is included in this study.\n\nAim of this study is to show differences in T1- and ECV-values in the investigated subgroups. In addition, we also want to create cut-off values for healthy and affected myocardium in asymptomatic HIV-infected patients. This study could show whether myocardial T1 mapping is a potential screening parameter for beginning heart disease as part of an HIV-infection, and whether an application in routine diagnostic is reasonable."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'HIV patients are recruted from the HIV outpatients clinic of our hospital.', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* chronic HIV infection\n* no known cardiac disease\n* no cardiovascular risk factors\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* contraindications to MRI (e.g. metal implants)\n* chronic kidney disease'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02054494', 'briefTitle': 'T1 Mapping in HIV Patients With High and Low CD4+ Cell Counts', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University Hospital, Bonn'}, 'officialTitle': 'Myocardial T1-mapping and T1-derived Extracellular Volume Fraction (ECV) in HIV-infection Patients With Chronic High and Low CD4+ Counts and in a Healthy Control Group', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '038/13'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'HIV patients with high CD4+ cell counts', 'description': 'HIV Infection, Chronic high CD4+ cell counts (\\>500 /μl), No known cardiac disease'}, {'label': 'HIV patients with low CD4+ cell counts', 'description': 'HIV Infection, Chronic low CD4+ cell counts (\\<200 /μl), No known cardiac disease'}, {'label': 'Control Group', 'description': 'No known cardiac disease.'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '53127', 'city': 'Bonn', 'state': 'North Rhine-Westphalia', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Germany', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Claas P Naehle, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'cp@naehle.net'}, {'name': 'Julian A Luetkens, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'quatio@web.de'}, {'name': 'Claas P Naehle, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'University of Bonn, Dept. of Radiology', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 50.73438, 'lon': 7.09549}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Julian A Luetkens, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'quatio@web.de', 'phone': '+4928828714414'}, {'name': 'Claas P Naehle, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'cp@naehle.net'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Claas P Naehle, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University of Bonn, Dept. of Radiology, Sigmund-Freud-Str. 25, 53127 Bonn, Germany'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University Hospital, Bonn', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'PD Dr. med.', 'investigatorFullName': 'Claas P.
