Depressed HIV patients also prone to heart attack, says study
Human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals already suffering from depression are at an increased risk of experiencing a heart attack than those without the mental health condition, finds a study.The findings showed that HIV-infected patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) -- a mood disorder causing a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest -- had a 30% greater risk of having an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or heart attack.With the advent of highly effective antiretroviral therapy and improved survival, people with HIV-infection are living longer.
