Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Cardiac involvement in patients with advanced HIV/AIDS is common, including pericardial effusion and pulmonary hypertension. Although there is an increased incidence of pericardial effusion in patients with AIDS, most are small and asymptomatic. The presence of a pericardial effusion and/or pulmonary hypertension is associated with shortened survival. We present a case of a 43-year-old man with AIDS and advanced cardiovascular involvement who developed severe cor pulmonale and a large pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade. |
