It is important to recognize and treat human immunodeficiency virus-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (HIV-PAH) because of the associated morbidity and mortality. With the introduction of antiretroviral therapies (ART), improved survival has changed the focus of treatment management from immunodeficiency-related opportunistic infections to chronic cardiovascular complications, including HIV-PAH. The 2018 6th World Symposium of Pulmonary Hypertension recommended a revised definition of PAH that might result in a greater number of patients with HIV-PAH; however, the implication of this change is not yet clear. Here, we review the current literature on the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of patients with HIV-PAH.
认识和治疗与人类免疫缺陷病毒相关的肺动脉高压(HIV-PAH)非常重要,因为它与发病率和死亡率相关。随着抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)的引入,生存的改善已经改变了治疗管理的重点,从与免疫缺陷相关的机会性感染转移到包括 HIV-PAH 在内的慢性心血管并发症。2018 年第六届世界肺动脉高压研讨会推荐了肺动脉高压的修订定义,这可能导致更多的 HIV-PAH 患者;然而,这一变化的影响尚不清楚。在这里,我们回顾了关于 HIV-PAH 患者的诊断、管理和结局的现有文献。
