Involvement of the cardiovascular system in patients with infectious and parasitic diseases can result from both intrinsic mechanisms of the disease and drug intervention. Malaria is an example, considering that the endothelial injury by Plasmodium-infected erythrocytes can cause circulatory disorders. This is a literature review aimed at discussing the relationship between malaria and endothelial impairment, especially its effects on the cardiovascular system. We discuss the implications of endothelial aggression and the interdisciplinarity that should guide the malaria patient care, whose acute infection can contribute to precipitate or aggravate a preexisting heart disease.
感染性和寄生虫病患者的心血管系统受累可能源于疾病的内在机制和药物干预。疟疾就是一个例子,因为感染疟原虫的红细胞造成的内皮损伤可导致循环系统紊乱。这是一篇旨在探讨疟疾与内皮功能损害之间关系的文献综述,尤其是其对心血管系统的影响。我们讨论了内皮损伤的影响以及指导疟疾患者护理的跨学科问题,疟疾急性感染可能促使或加重已有的心脏病。
