The Role of the Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger in Aberrant Intracellular Ca2+ in Cardiomyocytes of Chagas-Infected Rodents
Chagas disease is produced by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), which is the leading cause of death and morbidity in Latin America. We have shown that in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy, there is a chronic elevation of diastolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]d), associated with deterioratio...
