Overview

Pericardial disease in HIV positive patients is increasing in prevalence, below is some demographic features of the disease.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Pericardial diseases in the form of pericardial effusion or cardiac tamponade[1][2][3][4] have been recognized as complications since HIV infection was first reported in 1981.

  • In a small autopsy study, 24% of the cases were reported with major cardiac pathology.[5]
  • The incidence of pericardial effusion in patients with asymptomatic AIDS was 11% per year before the introduction of effective highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART). The 6 month survival rate of AIDS patients with effusion was significantly shorter (36%) than the survival rate without effusions (93%). This shortened survival rate remained statistically significant after adjustment for lead-time bias and was independent of CD4 count and albumin level.[1]
  • The incidence of AIDS-related cardiac disease is very high in Africa in comparison to that seen in the developed countries. In the period from 1993 to 1999 in Burkina Faso, 79% of AIDS patients exhibited cardiac involvement, whereas in an Italian study during the period 1992 to 1995, the incidence of AIDS-related cardiac disease was 6.5%.[8]
