Overview
There are many echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with Chagas disease such as, Segmental wall motion abnormalities: hypokinesis, akinesis, or dyskinesia, LV aneurysm, LV diastolic dysfunction, Dilated cardiomyopathy, RV dysfunction, Mural thrombus, mainly at LV apex, Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
The most Common Echocardiographic findings in chronic Chagas Disease:[1][2]
- Segmental wall motion abnormalities: hypokinesis, akinesis, or dyskinesia
- Inferior-inferolateral wall, usually basal segments
- LV apex
- Preserved septal contraction
- LV aneurysm
- LV diastolic dysfunction
- Dilated cardiomyopathy
- RV dysfunction
- Mural thrombus, mainly at LV apex
- Mitral and tricuspid regurgitation
