Congestive cardiomyopathy in association with AIDS.

Congestive cardiomyopathy in association with AIDS. During a 10-month period in 1985 and 1986, three cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and a rapidly progressive fatal cardiomyopathy were encountered. All three patients originally presented with common opportunistic infections and later experienced marked congestive heart failure associated with echocardiographic and radiologic findings consistent with four-chamber cardiomyopathy. Diffuse cardiomyopathy was confirmed postmortem, but in each case a specific cause was not found. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Radiology Radiological Society of North America, Inc.

Abstract

During a 10-month period in 1985 and 1986, three cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and a rapidly progressive fatal cardiomyopathy were encountered. All three patients originally presented with common opportunistic infections and later experienced marked congestive heart failure associated with echocardiographic and radiologic findings consistent with four-chamber cardiomyopathy. Diffuse cardiomyopathy was confirmed postmortem, but in each case a specific cause was not found.
