Cardiac Imaging in Patients With Tropical Diseases. A Scientific Statement of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) of the ESC and the Cardiovascular Imaging Department of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (DICSBC).
Tropical diseases (TDs), or neglected tropical diseases, affect over one billion subjects globally, primarily in impoverished regions. Despite their impact, these diseases are often overlooked on the global health agenda, with limited resources allocated to their control. TDs are caused by various pathogens, including viruses, protozoa, helminths, and bacteria. Climate change and migration have led to the spread of TDs beyond tropical regions, highlighting the need for healthcare providers worldwide to address their management. The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a road map for the prevention, control, and elimination of TDs by 2030. Cardiovascular involvement in TDs, including myocarditis, pericardial disease, pulmonary hypertension, obstructions caused by cysts, myocardial ischemia, and cardiomyopathies, complicates disease prognosis. However, cardiovascular complications of TDs are often underrecognized and understudied. This scientific statement, prepared by the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) and the Cardiovascular Imaging Department of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (DICSBC), reviews the current understanding of the use of cardiovascular imaging in TDs, underscores gaps of knowledge, and proposes potential solutions. Although limited evidence is available, cardiovascular imaging techniques are valuable in diagnosing and managing cardiac manifestations of TDs. The scientific statement addresses some of the main tropical infections today, such as Dengue, Malaria, Schistosomiasis, and Tuberculosis, but excludes Chagas disease and rheumatic fever, which have been extensively covered in other documents. When used effectively, cardiovascular imaging can potentially aid in early diagnosis, prevention of complications, and management of cardiovascular impairment due to TDs, improving healthcare systems and patient care.
期刊介绍:
European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging is a monthly international peer reviewed journal dealing with Cardiovascular Imaging. It is an official publication of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, a branch of the European Society of Cardiology.
The journal aims to publish the highest quality material, both scientific and clinical from all areas of cardiovascular imaging including echocardiography, magnetic resonance, computed tomography, nuclear and invasive imaging. A range of article types will be considered, including original research, reviews, editorials, image focus, letters and recommendation papers from relevant groups of the European Society of Cardiology. In addition it provides a forum for the exchange of information on all aspects of cardiovascular imaging.
