Resumen:
It is estimated that about four million people have
chagasic heart disease in Latin America. The early detection of those patients
who are likely to progress to more severe disease is necessary for appropriate
treatment management to prevent further cardiac damage. The detection of
ventricular arrhythmias is regarded as an expression of cardiac involvement in chagasic
patients1 and it is a common finding during stress testing. The objective of
this study was to ascertain whether stress testing has prognostic value for the
progression of early chronic Chagas heart disease.
