HIV associated cardiomyopathy : ウィキペディア英語版 | HIV associated cardiomyopathy
Heart problems are very important in people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) as Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients with left ventricular dysfunction have a median survival of 101 days as compared to 472 days in AIDS patients with healthy hearts.〔Barbarini G, Barbaro G. Incidence of the involvement of the cardiovascular system in HIV infection. AIDS 2003;17:Suppl 1:S46–50.〕 HIV is a major cause of cardiomyopathy (problems with the heart muscle that reduce the efficiency with which the heart pumps blood). The most common type of HIV induced cardiomyopathy is dilated cardiomyopathy also known as eccentric ventricular hypertrophy which leads to impaired contraction of the ventricles due to volume overload. The annual incidence of HIV associated dilated cardiomyopathy was 15.9/1000 before the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).〔Barbarini G, Barbaro G. Incidence of the involvement of the cardiovascular system in HIV infection. AIDS 2003;17:Suppl 1:S46–50.〕 However, in 2014, a study found that 17.6% of HIV patients have dilated cardiomyopathy (176/1000) meaning the incidence has greatly increased.〔Jain N, Reddy DH, Verma SP, Khanna R, Vaish AK, Usman K, Tripathi AK, Singh A, Mehrotra S, Gupta A. Cardiac Abnormalities in HIV-Positive Patients: Results from an Observational Study in India. J Int Assoc Provid AIDS Care. 2014 Jan-Feb;13(1):40-6.〕 ==Causes of cardiomyopathy== Dilated cardiomyopathy can be due to pericardial effusion or infective endocarditis, especially in intravenous drug users which are common in the HIV population.〔Barbaro G, Di Lorenzo G, Grisorio B, et al., and the Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio Cardiologico dei pazienti affetti da AIDS Investigators. Cardiac involvement in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: a multicentre clinical-pathological study. AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses 1998;14:1071–7.〕〔Klatt EC. Cardiovascular pathology in AIDS. Adv Cardiol 2003;40:23–48.〕 However, the most researched cause of cardiomyopathy is myocarditis (myocardial inflammation and infection) caused by HIV-1, which the main subtype of HIV (the other being HIV-2), with greater likelihood of transmission and shorter period between infection and illness. HIV-1 virions infect cardiomyocytes in patches but there is no direct correlation between viral infection and dysfunction of cardiomyocytes. HIV-related cardiomyopathy is often not associated with any specific opportunistic infection, and approximately 40% of patients have not experienced any opportunistic infection before the onset of cardiac symptoms.〔Barbaro et.al., Incidence of Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Detection of HIV in Myocardial Cells of HIV-positive patients, NEJM 2002;347(2):140.〕〔Braunwald’s, Heart Disease A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine, Volume II, 1793-1805.〕
