Article Synopsis
- HIV patients are at increased risk for heart issues, and the quality of ECG readings from handheld devices deteriorates as the disease progresses.
- A study involving 263 Kenyan adults analyzed the readability of 30-second ECG recordings made during routine check-ups, with 76.4% readable and 23.6% unreadable results.
- The findings suggest that as the HIV infection stage advances, patients are more likely to have unreadable ECGs, indicating that mobile devices may not accurately diagnose heart arrhythmias in these individuals.
