Overview
RBBB and AV block are common findings on ECG among patients with Chagas disease cardiomyopathy.
Electrocardiogram
- Annual 12-lead ECG is recommended for all (treated and untreated) patients with Chagas disease:
- Abnormal 12-lead ECG warrant further cardiac evaluation:
- Echocardiography
- Ambulatory ECG evaluation
- Electrophysiological studies
Common ECG Findings
- RBBB
- AV blocks
- Tachyarrhythmias
- Bradyarrhythmias
- Sinus node dysfunction
In a patient with diagnosed Chagas disease, cardiac damage is suspected if one or more following ECG findings occurs:
- Right bundle-branch block (RBBB),
- Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB),
- Atrio-Ventricular blocks
- Multifocal PVCs
