Abstract
A cardiac examination (ECG, Echo-CG and BCA ultrasound) was carried out on 150 patients – 60 HIV-infected with various stages of the disease and 90 patients with syphilis/HIV co-infection. Cardiovascular pathology caused by HIV infection was detected in 46.6% of patients in the first group, and in 7.7% in the second group. In a comparative analysis of the effect of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among those examined, it was proven that in the absence of ART or delayed or irregular use of drugs, the proportion of patients with cardiovascular pathology is several times higher than that of people who took ART on a timely and regular basis.
Key words: HIV infection, antiretroviral therapy, cardiovascular pathology in HIV infection, the effect of antiretroviral therapy on the development of cardiovascular pathology.
