| Popis: | Prior to effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV infected children demonstrated poorer ventricular function and higher ventricular masses than uninfected children. Those with the poorest myocardial function had the poorest outcomes. Effective ART improved survival as well as myocardial function. However, over time, myocardial function appears to decline. In addition, accelerated coronary artery disease, related to the effects of HIV, as well as its treatment, pose a new set of challenges as these patients approach adulthood. In untreated or inadequately treated patients, the prevalence of overt myocardial dysfunction, pericardial disease and primary as well as secondary pulmonary hypertension are significantly higher and need to be recognised and managed appropriately. |
