Abnormalities in electrocardiographic ventricular repolarization in patients with dengue virus infection

Conclusions: Myocardial repolarization changes do occur in patients with DENV. Having into account the potential impact of these changes on patients ’ outcome, and because 12-lead ECG is not routinely recommended in the setting of DENV in our country, we recommend that a 12-lead ECG be taken from each patient with this condition during DENV epidemics.
