“…In our study, the frequency of cardiac comorbidities documented in the medical charts was low. A Peruvian series of HIV cases showed a low number of cardiovascular hospitalizations with 26 patients having such events over 16 years of care at the largest hospital in the country [ 47 ]. A recent evaluation of two cardiovascular risk assessment scores in a Peruvian population of HIV-positive individuals found low percentages of patients with high cardiovascular risk according to the Framingham score and the PROCAM score (3.6 and 5.4%, respectively) [ 48 ].…”

“…En la época previa a la terapia antiretroviral, su prevalencia era de 3.6% entre todos los pacientes con cardiomiopatía, y con características diferentes en cuanto a pronóstico, pues su probabilidad de muerte es cuatro veces mayor en comparación con los pacientes con cardiomiopatía dilatada sin infección por VIH (2,6) . Las características histopatológicas son similares a los pacientes no infectados, con evidencia de hipertrofia y degeneración de miocitos, con incremento del colágeno intersticial y fibrilar endocárdico, y evidencia de miocarditis, mientras que las características macroscópicas incluyen la dilatación de las cámaras cardíacas con fibrosis endocárdica y trombos murales (2)(3)(4)(5)(6) . Además de la contribución etiológica de la infección por el VIH, se han propuesto otras causas como las deficiencias de vitamina B12, selenio, carnitina, hormona de crecimiento, hormonas tiroideas, en presencia o no, de síndromes de malabsorción.…”

“…Las causas de compromiso cardíaco fueron derrame pericárdico (4 casos), infarto de miocardio (3 casos), miocarditis (2 casos), endocarditis bacteriana (1 caso) e insuficiencia cardíaca (1 caso). De las causas vasculares no cardíacas se encontraron trombosis venosa profunda (6 casos), desórdenes cerebrovasculares (5 casos), hipertensión pulmonar (3 casos) y embolia pulmonar (1 caso) 5 .…”
