HIV and myocarditis.
Current Opinion in HIV and AIDS 2017 November
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of this article is to review the literature on HIV and myocarditis and HIV-associated heart failure.
RECENT FINDINGS: Currently, 17 million people are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) globally. There is a decrease in mortality from HIV in the last decade with increased survival in those receiving ART. HIV-associated cardiac failure is on the increase, with more cases of diastolic dysfunction reported in the ART era. The pathophysiology of HIV-associated myocarditis is multifactorial. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), through tissue characterization, demonstrates increased native T1 values which reflect both increased myocardial inflammation and fibrosis in HIV infection.
SUMMARY: HIV-associated myocarditis is common and may be an important cause of HIV-associated cardiac failure. CMR is an important imaging modality for the study of myocardial inflammation.
