Dengue fever is an arthropod-borne viral disease that is widespread throughout the world. We report a case of dengue cardiomyopathy that was detected and treated to best effect using point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and the VExUS score. A 75-year-old lady with no known comorbidities presented with a ten-day history of fever, vomiting, loose stool, and poor appetite.

There has been a significant interest in venous congestion in recent years, among which the VExUS score has been prominent, both in clinical practice and research efforts. We have noted some recurrent misconceptions among clinicians which are also reflected in certain research efforts. Notably, the misguided attempt to correlate VExUS to volume status, which is only one of the factors influencing it, as well as attempts to re-interpret VExUS in the context of certain pathologies, which reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of its circulatory perspective.

Background: It is uncertain whether fluid administration can improve patients with systemic venous congestion and haemodynamic instability. This study aimed to describe the changes in systemic venous congestion and peripheral perfusion parameters induced by a fluid challenge in these patients, and to analyse the influence of the fluid responsiveness status on these changes.
Methods: The study is a single-centre prospective cohort study of 36 critically ill ICU patients with haemodynamic instability and a maximum vena cava diameter ≥ 20 mm.

The venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS) is used to objectify systemic venous congestion. The aim of the paper was to determine the association between VExUS grades and worsening renal function (WRF), reduced natriuretic response, diuretics resistance, and mortality in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). One hundred patients were included, and Doppler ultrasound of hepatic, portal, and renal veins was performed.
