[Syndrome coronarien aigu sous traitement antirétroviral]

The aim of this study is to determine epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and outcome characteristics of acute coronary syndrome in AIDS patients under HAART. Results- The charts of 5 patients were reviewed. The mean age, at the time of the discovery of HIV infection, was 35 years. Three patients were smokers and one had a family history of diabetes and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Three patients received 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) with indinavir. The 2 others received 2 NRTIs with efavirenz with good immunovirologic response. Four patients developed mixed dyslipidemia after an average period of 26 months. Tow patients developed diabetes and one a hypertension. A specific treatment was initiated in all cases. These five patients developed an ACS after respectively 51, 95, 96,103 and 145 months of ART (median=98 months). ACS occurred in 3 patients receiving 2 NRTIs and PI and two others 2 NRTIs with efavirenz. The mean age at the onset of ACS was 46 years. One patient underwent a triple bypass surgery, tow a stenting of the stenotic coronary and the last 2 patients received medical treatment with a good clinical outcome. The PI was replaced by efavirenz in two patients. Four patients had a recurrence of ACS respectively after 2months, 3 months, 12 months, and 62 months after the first episode. The five patients are still followed with good clinical and biological outcome.
