Structural and functional impairment patterns of the heart in a group of HIV-infected adults

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is an increasingly important issue in human immunodeficiency viral (HIV)-infected individuals. Despite treatment with potent and effective combination antiretroviral medications, the incidence of heart diseases in the population living with HIV remains significantly higher than that in non-infected individuals. An intimate knowledge of opportunistic infections affecting the heart, effects of high antiretroviral therapy (HART) and therapy for opportunistic infections on the heart is needed to be able to formulate a differential diagnosis. Cardiovascular risk reduction and lifestyle modifications are essential and careful selection of the antiretroviral drugs according to underlying cardiovascular risk factors of great importance. A better understanding of how different pathogenetic issues can coexist will allow the development of methods aimed at enhancing the immune response to control HIV-mediated infections, as well as the production of therapeutic agents for the access to antiretroviral treatment with little or no impact on lipid and glucose metabolism of importance to reduce cardiovascular disease in HIV.
