SANDOVAL GUTIERREZ, José Luis. Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with human immunodeficiency virus: thirty years after its description. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.88, n.5, pp.503-506.  Epub Dec 04, 2020. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acmx.2018.03.003.

The development of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with human immunodeficiency virus reduces the probability of survival in the patient affected compared to those without cardiopulmonary disease. The pathophysiology is uncertain. There are several lines of research to associate the different proteins of the virus in the endothelial lesion. From a therapeutic point of view there are treatment modalities that allow an acceptable life expectancy.
