Heart Failure: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) patients are more prone to heart failure than the general population. This disclosure has been made in recent research. Apart from this, differences due to violence, gender, and community have also been detected in the research. The research was published in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
Research author Michael J. Silverberg, an HIV specialist at the US-based Kaiser Permanente Division of Research Center, says that 38,868 patients were included in the study. During this, the team examined aspects ranging from the effects on the heart of HIV patients to its stopping.
The investigation found that people living with HIV have a 68 percent higher risk of heart failure (i.e. heart failure) than the general population. On the other hand, if we talk about age, then this risk can be even more in women under 40 years of age. Also, people from Asian and Pacific islands are also at higher risk.
Higher risk in women than men
Research author Michael J Silverberg says that at the beginning of the study, it was found that women with HIV have a higher risk of cardiac function than men. He said that this is probably due to hormone regulation.
Treatment is possible with the help of hydrogen sulfide gas
According to the researchers, scientists of the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore have claimed its treatment. Scientists here have developed such a technique, with the help of which HIV patients can be treated with the help of hydrogen sulfide gas. However, this technique is still being studied further.
