Abstract:Objective To analyze the ECG characteristics of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among Zhuang ethnic group in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region so as to provide clinical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of this kind of population. Methods We selected 200 cases infected with HIV and 200 AIDS patients from inhabitants of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region who had been hospitalized in our hospital, separately as infection group and patient group. In addition, 200 healthy physical examinees during the same time period were selected as control group. Routine 12-lead ECG detection was performed on the three groups of research subjects. We compared active arrhythmia, passive arrhythmia, ST-T changes, QT interval/QTc prolongation and other abnormal ECG changes. Results In the infection group and the patient group, the incidences of active arrhythmias, passive arrhythmias, QT interval/QTc prolongation were all significantly higher than those in the control group. The incidences of the above three abnormal ECG changes in the patient group were also significantly higher than those in the infection group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Abnormal ECG changes are more common among patients with HIV infection and AIDS in Guangxi Zhuang population, mainly arrhythmias, ST-T changes and QT interval/QTc prolongation. Clinicians need to pay close attention to abnormal ECG changes of patients with HIV infection and AIDS patients among these population in order to prevent adverse cardiac events.
