Clinical and echocardiographic predictors of mortality in chagasic cardiomyopathy - systematic review

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2014
Diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of death risk in Chagas cardiomyopathy still constitute a challenge due to the diversity of manifestations, which determine the importance of using echocardiography, tissue Doppler and biomarkers. To evaluate, within a

Pathogenesis of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy: the role of coronary microvascular derangements

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2013
There is ample experimental and clinical evidence of functional and structural microvascular abnormalities occurring in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy, possibly due to the inflammatory process and/or autonomic disturbances caused by Trypanosoma ...

Electro‐Mechanical Dissociation in Chagas Cardiomyopathy: Comparative Analysis of Arrhythmic Burden Beyond LVEF

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
Despite matched clinical characteristics and LVEF, patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy exhibit a significantly higher arrhythmic burden compared to ischemic cardiomyopathy. This electro‐mechanical dissociation highlights the necessity of sudden death risk stratification strategies that extend beyond traditional ejection fraction thresholds.

Current Topics of Progressive Cardiac Conduction Disease

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
Many genes and the protein cause PCCD. Mutation of NaV1.5 or CX40 cause isolated PCCD, but mutation of lamin A/C, emerin, or desmin lead to cardiomyopathy, and PCCD. Mutation of transcription factor NCX2‐5, and Tbx5 associated with atrial septal defect and abnormal development of conduction system.

Deriving a parsimonious cardiac endpoint for use in epidemiological studies of Chagas disease: results from the Retrovirus Epidemiology Donor Study-II (REDS-II) cohort

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2021
Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChCM) is a severe consequence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection and has a range of electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic (ECHO) manifestations. There is a need for a standard and parsimonious research cardiac end point that
