Nagpur: Citing His 2013 research, a city cardiologist has suggested that ekocardiography – medical investigation of high-end heart – from all dengue patients must be done to ensure that the disease transmitted through vectors does not affect its function.
The reminder came in the middle of a surge in cases of dengue fever after a few years.
This month alone, the city has recorded more than 100 cases, while three patients died between May and June.
Against this background, a cardiologist Dr.
Shantanu Sengupta said, “Every dengue fever patient must undergo a heart assessment too.” “In general, it is assumed that the death of dengue fever occurs because of the low number of platelets, which is not so according to our study.
During the study of 80 patients, most of the Hingna and Wadi regions, we found 10% to 20% have developed heart disease.
These complications can be prevented in the remaining patients due to timely interventions, “CMD Sengupta Hospital, where this study was conducted during the 2013 outbreak Two-dimensional spots, ‘written by sengupta and three others.
Dr.
Abhijeet Nugurwar, Dr.
Kunda Mungulmare (both from Nagpur) and Dr.
Bijoy Khanderia (US) are other researchers.
Dr.
Sengupta said the treatment of dengue fever must begin at the initial stage.
“We identify heart problems not only with ECG but also through echocardiography, which is strain imaging.
This helps in identifying sub-clinical liver involvement.
If done correctly and taken early, fatality can be prevented.
Sixteen dengue patients who are part of This study has liver involvement and one dies.
Death is less than 1%.
After this study, the doctor had begun to use strains imaging in dengue fever patients, “Dr.
Sengupta was claimed.
Doctor’s senior consultant Dr.
Vimmi Goel said, “Heart involvement in dengue fever is a common event.
It can be easily monitored with available tests such as ECG, 2D echocardiogram and heart enzymes.
Damage to the heart muscles can cause symptoms such as heart failure , which can be easily picked up by the echocardiogram side of the bed.
Apart from this, various types of disorders in the heart rhythm can also be caused by dengue infection.
“Cardiological consultant Dr.
Shoeb Nadeem felt the heart assessment was not needed for all dengue fever patients.
“But for patients with myocarditis – heart inflammation – or tachycardia, it is needed.
Screening is also needed for patients with low heartbeat, breath or falling in BP,” he added.
Time testing of more than 100 Dengue cases has been detected in July this year.
A study in 2013 in 2013 in 80 dengue patients revealed 10% to 20% had developed heart disease echocardiography helping in identifying sub-clinical liver damage in the heart muscle could cause heart failure.
such as symptoms of early detection can prevent the heart assessment of deaths needed for dengue fever patients with myocarditis or tachycardia
