Abstract:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was first reported in the early 1980s and a once untreatable and fatal disease has since allowed individuals to live healthy lives with the advent of novel antiviral medications. While the life expectancy of an HIV-positive individual has dramatically increased, a myriad of HIV-related complications such as pneumocystis pneumonia, candidiasis, renal disease, anxiety/depression, and cardiovascular disease have dramatically decreased. However, these patients are still prone to complex medical problems. In this case report, we aim to highlight a rare, complicated case of an HIV-positive patient with coronary artery aneurysms complicated by an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
