Resumen

CASTELLANOS ROJAS, Rolando et al. Myxoma left ventricle in a patient with human immunodeficiency syndrome. AMC [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.3, pp.309-314. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background: cardiovascular complications are frequent at final stages of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. At these points, cardiac tumors can be seen with low frequency. Objective: to present the case of a patient with cardiac insufficiency signs and preceding four-year acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Clinical case: a thirty-year-old black female patient, who received four-year antiretroviral therapy for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. She began having palpitations, edemas of inferior limbs, noticeable asthenia, and low intensity dyspnea, which was increasing later. Because of this symptomatology, the patient goes to casualty department. Conclusions: echocardiography is a valuable tool when diagnosing the presence of cardiac tumors in a fast and simple way. Patients who suffer from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and have cardiac decompensation signs are exposed to these types of tumors. A definitive diagnosis in this patient was made after her death (post-mortem), because she died due to other clinical complications.
