Abstract

‘Neglected Tropical Disease’ (NTD) is a term which encompasses a group of pathologies prevalent in tropical in sub-tropical climates. These diseases have been historically underdiagnosed and Physiopathology of cardiovascular (CV) involvement has been traditionally understudied. In this chapter, we summarize the role of the ECG in identifying CV involvement in NTDs and other selected infectious diseases impacting the heart.
