Overview
Pericarditis is a frequent complication in patients with HIV, which usually presents as an asymptomatic pericardial effusion of small volume. Patients with advanced HIV infection develop pericardial involvement more frequently. Less than 1% of cases involving HIV develop symptomatic pericarditis, and its etiology includes the usual causes, opportunistic infection, Kaposi sarcoma, and HIV. A wide variety of cardiovascular complications are seen in advanced HIV infected patients. The most common are pericarditis,[1][2][3][4][5][6] myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and coronary artery disease.
