Abstract | INTRODUCTION: MATERIALS AND METHODS: A longitudinal study involved 104 dengue fever patients admitted to the Department of Medicine at New Civil Hospital, Surat, between May 2021 and October 2021, to identify potential cardiac involvement. RESULTS: The study found that out of the 104 patients, 28 (26.92%) showed cardiac involvement based on clinical manifestations. Among these patients, 28 (26.92%) exhibited abnormal ECG results, and 39 (37.50%) showed elevated creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) levels. Of the 28 patients who showed ECG changes, 14 (50%) displayed abnormal 2D-echocardiography (ECHO) results. The most common electrocardiographic anomaly was a T-wave inversion in V1-V4. The predominant 2D-ECHO finding was mild pericardial effusion. CONCLUSION:
