Risk Score for Predicting 2‐Year Mortality in Patients With Chagas Cardiomyopathy From Endemic Areas: SaMi‐Trop Cohort Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Risk stratification of Chagas disease patients in the limited‐resource setting would be helpful in crafting management strategies. We developed a score to predict 2‐year mortality in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy from remote endemic ...

Echocardiographic predictors of mortality in heart failure from Chagas cardiomyopathy: Refining risk stratification with speckle-tracking echocardiography [PDF]

American Heart Journal Plus
Background: Chagas cardiomyopathy is a major cause of mortality in endemic regions, predicted primarily by left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE)–derived strain is a sensitive tool for assessing ventricular ...

Antigen-Based Nano-Immunotherapy Controls Parasite Persistence, Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress, and Cardiac Fibrosis, the Hallmarks of Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy, in A Mouse Model of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection

Vaccines, 2020
Chagas cardiomyopathy is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc). We identified two candidate antigens (TcG2 and TcG4) that elicit antibodies and T cell responses in naturally infected diverse hosts.
