cquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a serious problem worldwide. Recent ad- vances in the knowledge about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication and the treatment of HIV infection have improved survival in HIV patients. Because of the longer survival in HIV patients, the more manifestations of late-stage HIV infection Awill be seen, including HIV-related cardiac diseases. The common cardiac manifestations in pa- tients with the acquired immunodeficiency virus are , myocarditis, dilated car- diomyopathy, endocarditis, pulmonary hypertension, malignant neoplasms, and drug-related car- diotoxicity. This review focuses on these cardiac manifestations in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
