Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Dengue is one of the most emerging viral diseases globally and it is classified as a major global health threat by world health organization (WHO).It is mosquito-borne viral infection caused by Flavivirus and transmitted by vector Aedes Aegypti. It is acute, infectious and self-limiting illness which has variable clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to shock or death. Cardiac involvement is not uncommon in dengue, still in majority cases it remain underdiagnosed which further contributes to serious complications and sometimes leading to mortality Aim and Objectives 1. To study the correlation between Dengue fever and its effect on Cardiac function through ECG changes. 2. To find conclusive evidence of correlation between ECG and dengue associated cardiac dysfunction Methods: Patients admitted in our hospital with diagnosed Dengue will be enrolled. Patients will be evaluated on the basis of: History of illness Clinical examination Relevant investigations Treatment given Response to treatment Conclusion: Cardiac involvement is not uncommon in dengue ,still in majority cases it remain underdiagnosed which further contributes to serious complications and sometimes leading to mortality. The exact mechanism of involvement of heart in dengue remains unclear. Presence of myocarditis in dengue patients is not always significant but it should alert the treating clinicians that such patients may require regular and continuous monitoring. It is necessary to create awareness and knowledge of cardiac complication of dengue fever between clinicians and patients, which will help us in early recognition and prompt treatment.
