Abstract
Cardiovascular manifestations in human monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection has gained increasing recognition as significant complications with both social and clinical implications. Myocarditis, viral pericarditis, heart failure, and arrhythmias can occur, leading to adverse effects on individuals' health and quality of life. Understanding the detailed pathophysiology of these cardiovascular manifestations is essential for improved diagnosis and management. The social implications of these cardiovascular complications are multifaceted, ranging from public health concerns and the impact on individuals' quality of life to psychological distress and social stigma. Clinically, diagnosing, and managing these complications present challenges, requiring a multidisciplinary approach and specialized care. The burden on healthcare resources necessitates preparedness and resource allocation to effectively address these complications. We delve into the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, including viral-induced cardiac damage, immune response, and inflammatory processes. Additionally, we explore the types of cardiovascular manifestations and their clinical presentations. Addressing cardiovascular manifestations' social and clinical implications in MPXV infection requires a comprehensive approach involving healthcare professionals, public health authorities, and communities. By prioritizing research, enhancing diagnosis and treatment strategies, and promoting preventive measures, we can mitigate the impact of these complications, improve patient care, and protect public health.
