恰加斯病心脏病的心血管并发症谱

Abstract

Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is endemic to Latin America. Approximately 20% of those infected develop Chagas heart disease, a chronic phase characterized by ventricular remodeling, aneurysm formation from inflammatory and ischemic processes (with or without thrombi), conduction disturbances, arrhythmias, and mitral valve alterations due to ventricular remodeling. Typically, these complications vary among patients. This paper presents an unusual case where most cardiovascular complications associated with Chagas heart disease are present, making it an illustrative example of the disease's spectrum.
