RESUMEN
La hipertensión pulmonar (HP) es una patología grave, que si bien es infrecuente, en los pacientes HIV+ se presenta hasta 12 veces más que en la población general; su diagnóstico precoz, en pacientes asintomáticos o con síntomas leves brinda la posibilidad de un tratamiento específico que mejora sustancialmente el pronóstico en estos pacientes. Si bien la fisiopatología de la HP asociada a HIV permanece desconocida y se considera de origen ultifactorial, existe evidencia de que distintas proteínas virales juegan un importante rol en su génesis. En todo paciente HIV+ con disnea a mínimos esfuerzos se debe descartar junto con otras etiologías la HP. el método de screening inicial es el ecodoppler cardíaco y la confirmación se realiza mediante cateterización cardiaca derecha. Es imprescindible tanto el tratamiento específico como la instauración precoz del TARV al diagnóstico, como así manejarse en conjunto con equipos con experiencia en esta patología...
ABSTRACT
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious condition, although it is uncommon in HIV + patients presented up to 12 times more than in the general population; its early diagnosis in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic offers the possibility of a treatment specific substantially improve prognosis in these patients. Although the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypetension associated with HIV remains unknown and is considered multifactorial, there is evidence that different viral proteins play an important role in its genesis. In any patient with dyspnea on minimal exertion should be discarded along with other etiologies of PH. The initial screening method is the heart doppler and confirmation is donde by right heart catheterization. It is essential to both the specific treatment as early institution of ART at diagnosis; as well it handled in conjuntion with experienced teams in this pathology...
