Pathophysiology
Patients with advanced HIV have pericardial involvement at some point and the most common abnormality is pericardial effusion.[1]
- Asymptomatic effusions are mostly small and idiopathic.
- In advanced HIV disease, effusions are a part of generalized seroeffusive process (capillary leak) 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.
