Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection was associated with increased morbidity and mortality, predominantly for opportunistic infections in the era prior antiretroviral therapy. Patients have experienced increased survival and cardiovascular involvement. The etiology of these clinical conditions could be related to the infection itself, adverse events associated with antiretroviral therapy, or adverse events produced by the combination with other drugs. Some of these conditions have an acute onset, and their rapid recognition is vital for a better prognosis.
