HIV Positive Client with Coronary Artery Disease and Tricuspid Valve Defect: A Case Report

Abstract

In the modern world, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality, accounting for nearly 1 in 5 fatalities. The importance of this disease's morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic impact makes quick accurate diagnosis and cost-effective care of CAD crucial. This in-depth analysis of the literature reveals crucial components in the diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment plans for individuals with chronic CAD. Among cardiovascular illnesses, tricuspid valve disease (TVD) is typically little talked about while having a sizable morbidity and death rate. There aren't many research accessible in our nation that evaluate the many facets of TVD. Many of the clinical manifestations of the disease can be attributed to the severe immunological deficiency that occurs in HIV/AIDS patients. Opportunistic infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancer are more common because the virus damages the immune system. Additionally, clinical symptoms caused by the virus itself may show up. For instance, in at least 50% of patients, clinical symptoms appear during the primary illness, which begins a few weeks after the initial HIV encounter, often as a mononucleosis syndrome. HIV-related issues are rare in those who have kept their immunity. Here I present the scenario of 60 years old geriatric patient with complaint of having chest and epigastric pain, having positive complaints of Nausea and Constipation, while Auscultating the chest there was presence of murmur sound from the heart and there was also crackling sound from the lungs, there were abnormalities found in the ECG on that condition patient was diagnosed with the mentioned diseases. Supportive treatment was given for the management of mentioned case.
