Cardiology in AIDS

HIV infection has major consequences for the cardiovascular system and has become one of the leading causes of acquired heart disease. This book has been written to inform the cardiology community about HIV-related cardiovascular complications and to furnish primary care providers with information about cardiac aspects of HIV infection. The text covers all aspects of cardiovascular disease in relation to HIV, including pathology, pharmacology, concerns in children and the elderly, and how complications can affect the fetus. Practical applications of nursing and patient management are also addressed.
