Infection from the dengue virus can manifest with a variety of clinical presentations. Cardiac involvement from dengue fever is a rarely reported phenomenon with significant morbidity and mortality.

Clinicians need to be weary of this rare occurrence particularly in areas with a known prevalence of dengue for prompt recognition and improved patient outcomes.
