| PubMedID- 26185285 | Dilated cardiomyopathy and myocarditis with hiv infection was evident in 40% to 50% of aids patients at necropsy in the pre-cart era.19 with effective cart in developed countries, incidence has decreased approximately 30%, suggesting that dilated cardiomyopathy and myocarditis with hiv and cart has declined.7,19,20 despite this, magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy show that hiv+ individuals continue to have subclinical myocardial disease with myocardial fibrosis and alterations in cardiac function.21,22 recent data comparing the rates of mortality in the pre- and post-cart era support these findings, where hiv+ individuals had a 6.3-fold increase in mortality resulting from cardiomyopathy and myocarditis in the post-cart era. |
