Treatment
- Asymptomatic with mild to moderate pericardial effusion:
- Mostly idiopathic and resolves spontaneously.
- However, asymptomatic effusions in HIV occur in advanced stages of the disease or they signal the onset of full-blown AIDS. These asymptomatic effusions require treatment to improve survival.[1] HAART therapy has significantly reduced the incidence and severity of cardiac complications associated with HIV.[2][3]
- Symptomatic large effusions without cardiac tamponade:
- Requires pericardiocentesis for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, to identify possible etiology.
- Pericarditis with cardiac tamponade:
- Occurs in 33-40% of patients.[4]
- Warrants immediate pericardiocentesis and a catheter is placed in the pericardial sac for the next 48 hours to continuously drain fluid by underwater-seal suction.
- Recurrent pericardial effusion:
- Either subxiphoid pericardiotomy with creation of a pericardial window[5][6] or balloon pericardiotomy can be considered.[7][8]
- Large pericardial effusions with unknown etiology:
- Empiric antituberculous therapy for M.tuberculosis have shown some benefit in patients with AIDS.[9][10][11]
- Other causes of pericarditis, including bacterial and fungal infections, should be identified and treated accordingly.
- Pericarditis due to lymphoma:
- Radiation and chemotherapy have been tried.[12][13] However, the response has been transient,[14] and the associated chemotherapy has significantly increased the risk of death secondary to opportunistic infections.[12]
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 levels.[15]
