HIV Myocarditis Presenting as Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Indian Heart J. 2006 May-Jun;58(3):269-71.

Abstract

Myocarditis is a common occurrence among patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, it is rare to find HIV-associated myocarditis presenting as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. A case of HIV-related myocarditis presenting as an acute inferolateral wall myocardial infarction in a 32-year-old male is described.
