Anticoagulation in patients with cardiac manifestations of Chagas disease and cardioembolic ischemic stroke
Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Objectives To describe anticoagulation characteristics in patients with cardiac complications from Chagas disease and compare participants with and without cardioembolic ischemic stroke (CIS). Methods A retrospective cohort of patients with Chagas disease, using anticoagulation, conducted fr...

Chagas disease and systemic autoimmune diseases among Bolivian patients in Switzerland
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 113 (4), 2018
BACKGROUND Chronic cardiomyopathy occurs in 20-40% of the patients with Chagas disease. Autoimmune mechanisms may contribute to its pathogenesis. We diagnosed several cases of systemic autoimmune diseases among Bolivian migrants in Geneva with a high prevalence of Chagas disease. OBJECTIVES We tested th...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms of cytokine-related genes and association with clinical outcome in a Chagas disease case-control study from Brazil
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 113 (6), 2018
BACKGROUND The severity of chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy (CCC), the most frequent clinical outcome of Chagas disease (CD), has been associated with cytokine-enriched heart tissue inflammation, and high serum levels of transforming growth factor (TGFβ), interferon-gamma (IFNγ), and tumour necr...
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme ID Polymorphism in Patients with Heart Failure Secondary to Chagas Disease
Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (4), 2017
Abstract Background: Changes in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene may contribute to the increase in blood pressure and consequently to the onset of heart failure (HF). The role of polymorphism is very controversial, and its identification in patients with HF secondary to Chagas disease in the...

Prognostic Factors in Severe Chagasic Heart Failure
Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (3), 2017
Abstract Background: Prognostic factors are extensively studied in heart failure; however, their role in severe Chagasic heart failure have not been established. Objectives: To identify the association of clinical and laboratory factors with the prognosis of severe Chagasic heart failure, as well as th...

Carlos Chagas Discoveries as a Drop Back to Scientific Construction of Chronic Chagas Heart Disease
Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (1), 2016
Abstract The scientific construction of chronic Chagas heart disease (CCHD) started in 1910 when Carlos Chagas highlighted the presence of cardiac arrhythmia during physical examination of patients with chronic Chagas disease, and described a case of heart failure associated with myocardial inflammation ...

Cardiac rehabilitation program in patients with Chagas heart failure: a single-arm pilot study
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 49 (3), 2016
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The benefit of a cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program for patients with Chagas heart failure (CHF) remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of CR for CHF patients. METHODS: A single-arm pilot study, including 12 patients with CHF, was performed. Patients ...
