• Abstract:

  Dengue is a Public Health problem with immense impact in tropical countries, which is characterized by being a visceral epidemic in the national territory since 1980, given the immense and growing deforestation and rampant urbanization, which fails the basic health criteria for ensure adequate and universal quality of life. Furthermore, with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, it had been neglected due to the exhaustion of beds, since these were directed to patients affected by SARS-CoV-2. However, infection by the dengue virus, DENV 1-4, does not is frivolous and requires public attention, it must be clarified that studies indicate that one of its manifestations is associated with the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Brazil: cardiac comorbidities. In this context, the objective of this study is to analyze and correlate the evolution of dengue and its consequences on the cardiac system, in order to systematize updated information and ensure broad knowledge and insight into the importance of integrated care, early diagnosis and monitoring, such as explained by the Inter-American Society of Cardiology (IASC). To this end, Scielo and PubMed will be used, selecting articles in English and Portuguese from the last 9 years. Furthermore, the keywords selected for data collection will be “dengue”, “cardiac manifestations”, “myocarditis”, “DENV” and “public health”. The dengue virus and its cardiac problems are two situations characterized as visceral Public Health problems in Brazilian territory. Therefore, its impact concerns awareness and improvement at the national level regarding the control and treatment of this non-contagious acute infectious disease, in addition to contributing to the scientific community with systematized information about the cardiac manifestations associated with the pathophysiology of DENV 1-4, which are essential for health professionals and students, given that both use evidence-based information in their jobs and academic training.
