How HIV infection may raise the risk for sudden cardiac death: New study sheds light

How HIV infection may raise the risk for sudden cardiac death: New study sheds light: The success of antiretroviral therapies has extended the lives of people living with HIV, long enough for other chronic health conditions to emerge, including a recently documented uptick in sudden death. Now, in a study comparing medical information and portable EKG patch data from men living with HIV to men without it, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and collaborators report they have found more variability of the electrical ''reset'' period between heartbeats.
