Association of caspase-1 polymorphisms with Chagas cardiomyopathy among individuals in Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
INTRODUCTION: Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) infection is usually acquired in childhood in endemic areas, leading to Chagas disease, which progresses to Chagas cardiomyopathy in 20-30% of infected individuals over decades.

Maskerading Bundle Branch Block Versus Standard Bifascicular Block: A Prognostic Analysis Results Through Electrophysiological Study

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 5, September 2026.
Patients with masked bundle branch block (MBBB) exhibited significantly longer HV intervals than those with standard bifascicular block (66.3 vs. 52.9 ms; p = 0.006), suggesting more advanced His–Purkinje conduction disease. During follow‐up, MBBB was associated with higher rates of atrial fibrillation or flutter (39.5% vs.

Duration‐Dependent Cardiac Effects of Anabolic‐Androgenic Steroid Use in Strength‐Trained Athletes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Echocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 9, September 2026.
Anabolic‐androgenic steroid use is associated with cardiac structural remodeling and functional impairment in strength‐trained athletes. Longer exposure was significantly associated with greater reductions in LVEF and increases in LVMI and posterior wall thickness, while other echocardiographic abnormalities showed heterogeneous temporal patterns ...

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

Genome wide association study (GWAS) of Chagas cardiomyopathy in Trypanosoma cruzi seropositive subjects. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND:Familial aggregation of Chagas cardiac disease in T. cruzi-infected persons suggests that human genetic variation may be an important determinant of disease progression.

Left Atrial Coupling Indexes as New Mortality Predictors in Chronic Chagas Disease

Echocardiography, Volume 43, Issue 8, August 2026.
Echocardiographic left atrial coupling indexes are promising prognostic markers of dismal outcome in Chagas disease. They were associated with all‐cause mortality independent from age, sex, and echocardiographic indexes, including LV ejection fraction, supporting their potential clinical relevance.
