| Core Tip |
Chagas heart disease (CHD) is associated with high mortality and a myriad of clinical manifestations, including bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, stroke, heart failure, and sudden death. Therefore, adequate care of these patients requires careful follow-up, clinical stratification, and knowledge of possible CHD complications and their treatment. In this review, we present the most up-to-date available data to optimize the care of these patients. We describe the clinical manifestations, diagnosis and classification criteria, risk stratification, and approach to the different clinical aspects of CHD using diagnostic tools and pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. |
