ABSTRACT

Background: patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome usually face cardiovascular complications which worsen the course of the infectious disease. Cardiac tamponment is one of those complications that can lead to death, if it is not solved at the right moment.
Objective: to present the case of a patient with preceding acquired immune deficiency syndrome and symptoms of cardiac tamponment.
Clinical case: a twenty-five year old black female patient, at the tenth week of pregnancy, who received two-year antiretroviral drug treatment for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. She began having sudden and low intensity dyspnea, which was increasing later, precordial pain, and palpitations. Consequently, she was admitted in the emergency room.
Conclusions: cardiac tamponment is one of the serious complications that can arise in the patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. If it is not treated quickly, it can cause these patients´death.
