Article Synopsis
- A young male with HIV myocarditis experienced sudden cardiac death due to a dangerous heart rhythm, which is not commonly documented in medical literature.
- The case highlights the need to consider HIV myocarditis as a potential cause of serious heart issues, including malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
- This situation emphasizes the importance of understanding the link between HIV and heart health, especially in young patients.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the effects of biphasic (BP) and monophasic (MP) electrical cardioversion on serum cardiac markers in patients with supraventricular tachyarrhythmia (SVT).
- - Results showed that higher cumulative energy (CE >150J) during MP cardioversion resulted in significant elevations of creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin, while BP cardioversion led to smaller increases in CK but similar myoglobin levels.
- - Overall, the study concluded that electrical cardioversion does not indicate myocardial injury, with CK and myoglobin increases likely due to skeletal muscle damage, particularly more pronounced in MP cardioversion.
