Association of human immunodeficiency virus with acute myocardial infarction and presumed sudden cardiac death.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While extensive evidence linking human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), several studies have also suggested an association between HIV and presumed sudden cardiac death (PSCD). Our objective was to evaluate the association between HIV and PSCD compared to AMI. Understanding whether HIV confers differential risks for distinct cardiovascular outcomes is essential to guide prevention strategies and risk stratification in this population.

Methods

The study design was a case-control study. We combined data from the large prospective population-based Paris Sudden Death Expertise Center Registry on PSCD and from the French National Health Insurance (SNDS) database. The SNDS database contains comprehensive data on all reimbursem
