Prospective study of ventricular function and myocardial deformation related to survival in acute Chagas disease: an experimental animal model

ABSTRACT Chagas disease (CD) has been changing from an endemic Latino-American disease to a condition found outside endemic regions, due to migratory movements. Although often subclinical, its acute phase can be lethal. This study aimed to assess survival during the acute phase of CD and its relatio...
