Rhabdomyolysis is a rare, but possible, complication of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). We report a unique case of an HIV-positive patient in HAART 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.

Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis is a rare, but possible, complication of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). We report a unique case of an HIV-positive patient in HAART 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.File in questo prodotto:
