ObjectiveTo study the Electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in AIDS patients at different age grades. MethodsThe ECG of 400 AIDS patients at different age were analyzed retrospectively. Results(①)The rate of abnormal ECG in the age group of 46 ~50 years was significantly higher than 11 ~ 15(P =0. 008) ,21 ~25( P = 0. 041 ),31 ~ 35 ( P = 0. 022 ),41 ~ 45 ( P = 0. 001 ) and 51 ~ 55 ( P = 0. 047 ) years groups respectively. (②)The rate of bradyarrhythmia in the age group of 46 ~ 50 years was significantly higher than 31 ~ 35 (U = 2. 44) ,36 -40( U = 2. 18 ) ,41 ~ 45 ( U = 2. 57 ) years groups ( P < 0. 05 respectively. (③)The rate of left atrial and ventricular hypertrophy in 11 ~ 15 years group was significantly lower than the age groups older than 46 (except for 51 ~ 55years group) ;those aged >60 had higher atrial and ventricular hypertrophy rate than 36 ~40,41 ~45 and 51 ~55years groups ( P < 0. 05 respectively). ConclusionsAIDS patients at all ages may present abnormal ECG, which is positively correlated with age.
