Overview

The electrocardiogram can demonstrate q waves due to replacement of the myocardium by electrically inert tissue.

Electrocardiogram in acute Chagas disease

Myocardial involvement is a dominant feature in the acute phase of Chagas disease, as reflected by diffuse ST-T changes or low QRS voltage on the electrocardiogram. Other abnormalities include right bundle-branch block (RBBB), left anterior fascicular block (LAFB), combined conduction disturbances, and first-degree or second-degree atrioventricular block.[1][2][3] A normal electrocardiogram during the acute phase of Chagas disease suggests a favorable prognosis, since fewer than 15% of fatal cases were reported to have a normal tracing.[4]

Electrocardiogram in chronic Chagas disease

In a prospective study of chronic Chagas disease, the most common electrocardiographic alterations are RBBB and the combination of LAFB and RBBB, whereas left atrial enlargement, pathologic Q-wave, and left ventricular hypertrophy are significantly infrequent.[5] Patients with ventricular extrasystoles along with conduction defects have an increased risk for sudden death.[6] Intraventricular conduction abnormalities, sustained ventricular tachycardia, T-wave axis deviation, and QT-interval dispersion are predictors of mortality.[7][8][9][10]
