Overview
A wide variety of cardiovascular complications are seen in advanced HIV infected patients. The most common are:
Epidemiology and demographics
Pericardial diseases in the form of pericardial effusion or cardiac tamponade[5][7][8][9] have been recognized as a complication since HIV infection was first reported in 1981.
- In a small autopsy study, 24% cases reported major cardiac pathology [10].
- The incidence of pericardial effusion in patients with asymptomatic AIDS was 11% per year before the introduction of effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The 6 month survival rate of AIDS patients with effusion was significantly shorter (36%) than the survival rate without effusions (93%). This shortened survival rate remained statistically significant after adjustment for lead-time bias and was independent of CD4 count and albumin level[5].
- The incidence of AIDS-related cardiac disease is very high in Africa in comparison to that seen in the developed countries. In the period from 1993 to 1999 in Burkina Faso, 79% of AIDS patients exhibited cardiac involvement, whereas in an Italian study in the period from 1992 to 1995, the incidence of AIDS-related cardiac disease was 6.5%[11].
Pathophysiology
Patients with advanced HIV have pericardial involvement at some point and the most common abnormality is pericardial effusion[12].
- Asymptomatic effusions are mostly small and idiopathic.
- In advanced HIV disease, effusions are a part of generalized seroeffusive process involving pleural and peritoneal surfaces, possibly related to enhanced cytokine expression, resulting in moderate to large effusions.
- Congestive heart failure, Kaposi sarcoma, and Tuberculosis are independently associated with moderate to large effusions.
Etiology
It is often difficult to identify the etiology of pericardial effusion in HIV-infected patients. The common organisms isolated are:
Supportive trial data:
- A retrospective study [19] of 29 patients with AIDS-related pericardial effusion who underwent fluid cultures and pericardial biopsy, etiology was established only in 7% patients. The causes included:
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis (1%),
- Staphylococcus aureus (1%), and
- Neoplasms (2% adenocarcinoma and 3% lymphoma)
- Another study that evaluated pericardial effusions in 17 patients with HIV [4], revealed etiologic evidence in 5 patients of which 2 were found to have lymphoma, and 1 each had staphylococcus aureus, mycobacterium tuberculosis, and fungal infection.
Diagnosis
History and symptoms:
The frequency and severity of the above symptoms varies with the stage of the infection and the degree of involvement of the pericardium.
- Majority of the are asymptomatic and present with an increase in the cardiac silhouette on chest x-ray.
- Symptomatic patients present with the following:
- Chest pain: characteristically sharp and pleuritic in nature, exacerbated by inspiration and relieved by sitting up and leaning forward.
- breathlessness
- Malaise
- Fever
- Cough
- Ankle edema and/or ascites
- About a third of patients with symptomatic pericardial effusion can develop signs of cardiac tamponade. [9]

Physical Examination:
Vitals:
- pulsus paradoxus and

Chest:
- Ewart's sign: Dullness to percussion beneath the angle of left scapula from compression of the left lung by pericardial fluid may be present.

Abdomen:
- Hepatojugular reflux may be present

Extremities: Ankle edema
Treatment
- Asymptomatic with mild to moderate pericardial effusion:
- usually idiopathic and will resolve spontaneously.
- However, asymptomatic effusions in HIV occurs in advanced stages of the disease or heralds the onset of full-blown AIDS and hence requires treatment to improve survival.[12] HAART therapy has significantly reduced the incidence and severity of cardiac complications associated with HIV.[20] [14]
- Symptomatic large effusions even without cardiac tamponade: require pericardiocentesis and obtain cultures, cytology to identify the possible etiology.
- Pericarditis with cardiac tamponade: occurs in 33-40% patients.[9] This warrants immediate pericardiocentesis and a catheter is left in the pericardial sac to drain fluid by underwater-seal suction for the next 48 hours.
- Recurrent pericardial effusion: Either subxiphoid pericardiotomy with creation of a pericardial window [19] [21] or balloon pericardiotomy can be considered.[22] [23]
- Large pericardial effusions with unknown etiology: empiric therapy with conventional antituberculous therapy for M.tuberculosis have shown some benefit in patients with AIDS. [24] [25] [26]
- Other causes of pericarditis such as bacterial or fungal infections also should be identified and treated accordingly.
- Pericarditis due to lymphoma: radiation and chemotherapy have been tried. [27] [28] The response however has been transient [29] and associated chemotherapy has a significantly increased the risk of death due to opportunistic infections.[27]
Prognosis
- Pericarditis in patients with HIV occurs in advanced stages of the disease or heralds the onset of full-blown AIDS and hence is a bad prognostic sign. [5] [30] [31] [32]
Supportive trial data:
- The incidence of pericardial effusion in patients with asymptomatic AIDS was 11% per year before the introduction of effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The 6 month survival rate of AIDS patients with effusion was significantly shorter (36%) than the survival rate without effusions (93%). This shortened survival rate remained statistically significant after adjustment for lead-time bias and was independent of CD4 count and albumin level[5].
