Abstract
Long-term antiretroviral treatment with nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) may result in a cardiomyopathy due to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion. An intact mitochondrial function is required for the synthesis of intramyocardial pyrimidine nucleotides, which in turn are building blocks of mtDNA. We investigated if NRTI-related cardiomyopathy can be prevented with pyrimidine precursors.
