The success of antiretroviral therapies has extended the lives of people living with HIV, long enough for other chronic health conditions to emerge, including a recently documented uptick in sudden death. Now, in a study comparing medical information and portable EKG patch data from men living with HIV to men without it, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and collaborators report they have found more variability of the electrical "reset" period between heartbeats — known as the QT interval — in men living with the virus, which may contribute to the increased risk of sudden cardiac deaths.

Managing the risk for infection is one of the primary tasks in optimizing outcomes for solid organ transplant recipients. Infections such as cytomegalovirus and urinary tract infection are common causes of morbidity and mortality in this population. For example, UTI affects approximately 80% of recipients of kidney transplantation and represents the cause of hospitalization for sepsis in roughly 30% of these patients.
