AB We describe the cardiovascular abnormalities found at autopsy in
patients with AIDS and a description of the opportunistic infections in
these cases studied between January 1988 and August 1993. There were 51
cases with such diagnosis. Pericardial effusion appeared in 9, pleural
effusion in 7, myocarditis in 5, 7 with pericarditis, endocarditis in 6,
left ventricular hypertrophy in 20, right ventricular hypertrophy in 21
and evidence of atherosclerosis in 15. Thus, data of cardiovascular
damage was present in 42.7% of our patients. The cardiovascular
abnormalities in this group are common, in contrast to the paucity of
clinical findings. Diagnosis of cardiac pathology was made in only 12%
of them. So in every case with diagnosis of AIDS, a careful clinical
examination and cardiac diagnostic oriented tests must be done for
detection of these abnormalities.
