Overview
Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have an increased risk of developing heart disease and they may need an echocardiogram. [1]
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
Echocardiography
Patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have an increased risk of developing heart disease. Common heart problems associated with HIV are:
- Pericarditis (inflamed sac surrounding the heart)
- Endocarditis (infection of the lining inside the heart)
- Cancer
- Pulmonary high blood pressure
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
Indication for performing an echocardiogram in AIDS patients must be done on case by case basis. For example: HIV infected drug abuser population are more prone for endocarditis than others.
