Electrocardiogram

In an analysis of 4518 HIV-infected patients it was found that more than half of the participants (51.5%) had either minor or major ECG abnormalities. Minor ECG abnormalities (48.6%) were more common than major ECG abnormalities (7.7%).

Possible EKG abnormalities in HIV infected patients include:

• QT prolongation
• Supraventricular ectopics
• Ventricular ectopics
• Non-specific ST-T changes
• Non-specific Q-QS abnormalities
