title: [Myocardial infarction in hiv patients treated with protease inhibitors: report of two cases].
abstract: The Authors describe two cases of HIV patients treated with Protease Inhibitors that have gone on to suffer from lipodystrophy, metabolic disorder, diabetes and myocardial infarction (fatal in one of them). The surviving patient underwent a Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) with improvement of the acute coronary syndrome. In the light of the review of literature and our observations, we propose some considerations about prevention, diagnostic and therapeutic management of HIV patients treated with IP and cardiovascular risk.
