CONCLUSION
Among hospitalized HIV patients, cardiac arrhythmias are associated with
significant patient morbidity and mortality. AF has emerged as the most
frequent arrhythmia among hospitalized HIV patients. The presence of
arrhythmias is associated with adverse outcomes in HIV patients,
including a higher in-hospital mortality rate and cost of care. The
in-hospital mortality among patients with any arrhythmia is significant
but has decreased over the years.
