Overview
Cardiac abnormalities observed in patients with HIV include pericardial effusion, myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and/or endocardial involvement at any stage of the disease. On ECG, patients may exhibit increased heart rate, prolonged QT interval, and non-specific ST-T changes.
Electrocardiogram findings
Two-thirds of patients with AIDS have significant cardiac abnormalities on autopsy, although these findings may be obscured by the more severe findings in other organ systems. Cardiac abnormalities observed in patients with HIV include pericardial effusion, myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, and/or endocardial involvement at any stage of the disease.[1] On ECG, the following changes may develop as a patient progresses from early HIV to late stage AIDS:
- Increased heart rate
- Prolonged QT interval
- Non-specific ST segment/T wave changes[2]
