NEJM: Sudden cardiac death and myocardial fibrosis in HIV-positive patients

Introduction: Sudden cardiac death caused by HIV
.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and ischemic stroke

This is a prospective autopsy study that uses data from medical examiners to determine the exact incidence and root cause of all deaths due to trauma
.
They found that, according to autopsy results, only more than half of sudden death (55.
8%) by arrhythmia caused

From February 1, 2011 to September 16, 2016, the researchers conducted a comprehensive autopsy and toxicology and organization of all new deaths caused by out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and all HIV-infected or uninfected people between the ages of 18 and 90.
School test, which compares the sudden death rate caused by sudden cardiac death and arrhythmia between groups

The histological level of interstitial myocardial fibrosis in HIV-positive people is higher than that in people who are not infected with HIV
.

Experimental results show that in this autopsy study, the presumed incidence of sudden cardiac death and myocardial fibrosis in HIV-positive people is higher than in people who are not infected with HIV
.
One-third of the apparent sudden cardiac deaths in HIV-positive people are caused by overdose of concealed drugs
