Journal ArticleDOI
Myocardial delayed enhancement by magnetic resonance imaging in patients with Chagas' disease: a marker of disease severity.
Carlos E. Rochitte,Paulo F.M. Oliveira,Joalbo M. Andrade,Barbara Maria Ianni,José R. Parga,Luiz Francisco Rodrigues de Ávila,Roberto Kalil-Filho,Charles Mady,José Cláudio Meneghetti,Joao A.C. Lima,José Antonio Franchini Ramires +10 more
TL;DR: In Chagas' heart disease (CHD), MDE by MRI quantifies MF that not only can be detected in the early asymptomatic stages but parallels well-established prognostic factors and provides unique information for clinical disease staging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival and predictors of survival in patients with congestive heart failure due to Chagas' cardiomyopathy.
TL;DR: It is concluded that 50% of the patients with heart failure due to Chagas' disease die in 47 months and that &OV0622;O2max and EF are important indices of survival in this group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Chagas' Disease Cardiomyopathy Patients Display an Increased IFN-γ Response to Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
L. C. J. Abel,Luiz Vicente Rizzo,Barbara Maria Ianni,F Albuquerque,Fernando Bacal,Dirceu Carrara,Edimar Alcides Bocchi,Henrique Couto Teixeira,Charles Mady,Jorge Kalil,Edecio Cunha-Neto +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that CCC and ASY patients may respond differentially to the IFN-gamma-inducing stimulus provided by T. cruzi infection, and the ability to mount a vigorous IFN -gamma response may play a role on the differential susceptibility to CCC development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of spironolactone on ventricular arrhythmias in congestive heart failure secondary to idiopathic dilated or to ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Felix José Alvarez Ramires,Antonio de Pádua Mansur,Otávio Rizzi Coelho,Mario Maranhão,Gruppi C,Charles Mady,José Antonio Franchini Ramires +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that aldosterone may contribute to the incidence of ventricular arrhythmia in patients with CHF, and spironolactone helps reduce this complication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in asymptomatic/"indeterminate" and Chagas disease cardiomyopathy patients
Renata Ferreira,Barbara Maria Ianni,L. C. J. Abel,Paula Buck,Charles Mady,Jorge Kalil,Edecio Cunha-Neto +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels among asymptomatic/indeterminate" Chagas disease patients (ASY) and patients across the clinical spectrum of chronic Chagga disease cardiomyopathy (CCC).
