Cardiac lesions are common in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Both macroscopic and microscopic cardiac lesions are frequently observed, alongside echocardiographic abnormalities, affecting all heart wall layers.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) significantly impacts cardiovascular health.
  • Cardiac involvement is a recognized complication in advanced HIV infection.
  • Diverse cardiac pathologies are reported in AIDS patients.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the diverse cardiac lesions observed in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
  • To highlight the frequency and types of cardiac manifestations in AIDS.
  • To review pathological findings in the cardiac tissue of AIDS patients.

Summary:

  • Autopsy studies reveal macroscopic cardiac lesions in 20% and microscopic lesions in 50% of AIDS patients.
  • Clinical studies report echocardiographic abnormalities in up to 55% of individuals with AIDS.

  • Involvement spans all three cardiac wall layers, including Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphoma, infectious myocarditis/pericarditis, cardiomyopathy, and endocarditis.

    • Impact:

    • Underscores the high prevalence of cardiac pathology in AIDS.
    • Emphasizes the need for comprehensive cardiovascular assessment in AIDS patients.
    • Provides a foundation for understanding the spectrum of cardiac complications in immunocompromised individuals.
