Dengue cases often increase in India between September and October. This mosquito-borne disease can sometimes be serious and can even prove fatal. However recent research has also revealed that dengue also increases the risk of heart disease. Let us know about this research and its possible impact.

Dengue: What is it and how does it spread?

Dengue is spread by mosquito bites. Symptoms of this disease include high fever, body pain, and lack of platelets. If not treated on time, it can be fatal. Recent research has found that dengue fever can increase the risk of heart disease.

Research Revealed

Singapore's Nanyang Technological University has researched this. This research has revealed that dengue patients have 55 percent more risk of getting heart disease than COVID-19 patients. In this study, medical data of more than 11,700 dengue patients and more than 12 lakh COVID-19 patients have been analyzed. This study has been published in the Journal of Travel Medicine.

Dengue vs COVID-19

Lim Jue Tao, an assistant professor at Nanyang Technological University, said dengue is a common vector-borne disease worldwide and can lead to several health problems. There has been an increase in heart attack cases after COVID-19, as the disease causes blood clotting, which can lead to blockage in the heart arteries. However, recent research has shown that dengue can also be more serious than COVID-19 in this regard.

Dengue and heart health

Dengue patients should take special precautions regarding heart health. According to research, heart health can be seriously affected after dengue. Apart from this, liver damage, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), and neurological problems can also occur in the case of severe dengue. It is important to be aware of the seriousness of dengue and its potential health effects. Recent research has made it clear that dengue is not just a common fever, but it can also increase the risk of heart disease. Therefore, along with the prevention and treatment of dengue, it is important to take care of heart health as well.
