Why the study?
What is the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias and heart rate variability in children with dengue virus infection during the convalescent stage?
Population
35 children with dengue virus infection during the convalescent stage, mean age 11.7 (2.3) years.
Comparison
Overnight 18-24-hour Holter monitoring vs Follow-up visit for HRV comparison in a subset…
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
at least 14 days after defervescence

Cardiac rhythm abnormalities affect ~30% of children in dengue convalescence without HRV change; leaves open need for prospective arrhythmia surveillance studies.
What is the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias and heart rate variability in children with dengue virus infection during the convalescent stage?
Benign bradyarrhythmias and ectopic beats are common in children during the convalescent stage of dengue virus infection, but heart rate variability remains unchanged.
La-orkhun et al. (2011) studied this question.
