“…The main manifestations at the ECG were acute atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, and non-sustained atrial tachycardia. Five of the six heart failure patients had a low ejection fraction [ 9 ]. This study focused on the potential threat that ZIKV may pose to the heart like others arboviral diseases [ 10 ].…”

Background Zika virus infection is commonly described as a mild and self-limiting illness. However, cardiac complications were associated with acute Zika virus infection. Case presentation A 46-year-old woman without previous comorbidities with a 1-day history of symptoms tested positive for ZIKV by real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). She was admitted two days after with clinical worsening, cardiac enzymes elevated, and cardiac imaging findings, and the diagnosis of myopericarditis was made. The patient was treated and presented significant clinical improvement after one year. Conclusions Cardiac complication following ZIKV infection appears to be infrequent. Here, we report a rare case of viral myopericarditis caused by ZIKV infection.

“…There is evidence of the association between myocarditis with Zika infection ; however , as the disease may be asymptomatic, CV complications may be under-diagnosed [ 18 ]. There are reports of the occurrence of arrhythmia in a series of 8 of 9 patients, of which 3 patients had atrial fibrillation, 2 patients had non-sustained atrial tachycardia and 2 patients had ventricular arrhythmias [ 19 ]. In the same study, heart failure was reported in 6 patients (of which 5 had reduced left ventricular ejection fraction).…”

: There have many major history-defining epidemics and pandemics in the 21st century. It is well known that acute infections can cause cardiovascular (CV) complications especially in those with underlying cardiac disease. The variation in rates and types of CV disease complications in major 21st century epidemics and pandemics varies greatly. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused the turmoil of the century and has COVID-19 has resulted in substantial human and economic loss. . The novelty of COVID-19 and emerging CV effects is a new entity. In this review, we discuss the major epidemics and pandemics of the 21st century and associated CV disease complications.

“…Recent systematic review of a few published cases suggested that Zika may cause cardiovascular complications. [3][4][5][6] Several mosquito-transmitted flavivirus infections are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications such as myocarditis and potential long-term atherosclerosis. [7][8][9] Most recently, Carta et al 6 reported that Zika virus infection in Venezuela is associated with cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure.…”
