Echocardiographic parameters associated with pulmonary congestion in Chagas cardiomyopathy Parâmetros ecocardiográficos associados com a congestão pulmonar na miocardiopatia chagásica
INTRODUCTION: Discrepancy between the intensity of pulmonary congestion and the grade of cardiomegaly seems to be a common finding of Chagas cardiomyopathy, in spite of significant systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle. Its mechanism has not been established. The aim of this study was to invest...
