• Abstract:

   Goal: This literature review analyzes recent evidence on the cardiac symptoms of dengue, aiming to understand its pathophysiology, identify risk factors and investigate diagnostic, treatment and prevention strategies. A total of 17 articles were selected from a total of 22 found in the PubMed-MEDLINE database, covering studies published between 2014 and 2024. Summary: Dengue has three distinct clinical phases: febrile, critical and recovery, with different cardiac manifestations, including acute coronary syndrome, thromboembolic and ischemic events. Diagnosis is challenging due to the lack of universal protocols, but tools such as electrocardiography and cardiac biomarkers are useful. Final considerations: Advances in diagnosis, such as electrocardiography and echocardiography, have improved detection. Future research must focus on diagnostic and treatment strategies, as well as long-term effects on cardiovascular health, aiming to reduce the burden of the disease in endemic areas.
