Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.HIV associated cardiac pathology is being recognized increasingly as patients with chronic HIV infection survive to live productive lives. HIV associated cardiomyopathy is among the most common cardiac specific manifestation of chronic HIV infection and was observed in between 6-12% of patients that succumb to AIDS. However, cardiovascular involvement has emerged as more than a pathologic curiosity, but rather as a significant cause of morbidity as individuals live longer, more productive lives with HIV. Increased use of HAART therapy has served to unmask HIV associated predispositions to cardiac involvement. Despite the increased recognition, the risks factors for, the pathogenesis of, and the specific treatments required in HIV associated cardiac disease remain unknown.
