Resumen
GRADOS-SASO, Daniel et al. HIV-associated heart disease. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.3, pp.368-372. Epub 01-Sep-2022. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m22000165.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection continues to be a leading health problem worldwide. Increased life expectancy due to antiretroviral therapy has significantly increased the prevalence of the disease. Human immunodeficiency virus infection is an important cause of acquired heart disease, especially the development of ischemic heart disease (the most common cardiovascular manifestation in developed countries today). We present the case of a 42-year-old patient with HIV infection with no classical cardiovascular risk factors who developed a high-risk acute coronary syndrome. We discuss the etiopathogenesis of HIV-associated ischemic heart disease and its particular diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
