Rhabdomyolysis in an HIV-infected patient following coronary angiography: case report and literature review

Francesco Sbrana et al. Int J STD AIDS. 2014 May.

Abstract

Rhabdomyolysis is a rare, but possible, complication of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). We report a unique case of an HIV-positive patient on cART who came to our attention for suspected ischaemic heart disease. Coronary angiography was carried out and complicated in the following days by rhabdomyolysis. We discuss the possible links between rhabdomyolysis, iodinated contrast media and HAART.

Keywords: AIDS; HIV; antiretroviral therapy; coronary artery disease; iodinated X-ray contrast medium; rhabdomyolysis; treatment.
