Zusammenfassung:Patients affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) show an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Clinical and angiographic features of HIV positive (HIV+) patients presenting with the first episode of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are not well defined in previous studies. To demonstrate that HIV + patients with acute coronary syndrome had different features than non-HIV patients. We identified 48 HIV + patients without previous cardiovascular events admitted to our Emergency Department with ACS diagnosis between 2012 and 2020. Clinical and angiographic characteristics were compared with a control group of 48 non-HIV consecutive patients affected by ACS as first episode.
