Abstract
Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the clinical features of women infected
with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) using Holter monitoring.
Methods: Thirty-five female patients infected with HIV using a Holter monitor at the Ditan Hospital
were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: In terms of basic rhythms, there were 30 cases of sinus rhythm, 27 cases of ventricular
premature beat, 26 cases of supraventricular premature beat, 12 cases of mild reduction of HRV, 9
cases of normal heart rate variability (HRV), 8 cases of supraventricular tachycardia, 5 cases of abnormal
ST-segment changes and 2 cases of sinus bradycardia 2 cases of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
2 cases of junctional escape rhythm. There was only one case in each of the following ECG
changes: persistent atrial fibrillation, sinus tachycardia, couplet supraventricular premature beats,
accelerated idioventricular rhythm, sinoatrial block, second-degree Mobitz type I atrioventricular
block, second-degree Mobitz type II atrioventricular block, complete right bundle branch block,
T-wave abnormality, and significant reduction of HRV.
Conclusion: The Holter monitor can show more changes in the electrocardiogram (ECG) of HIV--
positive patients, particularly significant ECG abnormalities, such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation,
and can direct early clinical treatment to serious adverse results.
Keywords:
Human immunodeficiency virus, heart injury, holter monitoring, heart rate variability (HRV), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, ECG abnormalities.
