A Modified Classification Scheme for Chagas Cardiomyopathy Incorporating Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Alexandra Smith, Emilio Fentanes, Rosco Gore, Kelvin N Bush
TL;DR
This paper proposes a new classification system for Chagas cardiomyopathy using cardiac MRI to improve diagnosis.
Contribution
The novel contribution is an updated staging classification incorporating cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
Findings
Electrocardiographic and CMR findings identified Chagas dilated cardiomyopathy in a military service member.
Incorporating CMR into the classification improves diagnosing cardiomyopathies.
Abstract
The public health concerns from Chagas disease warrant improved cardiovascular imaging efforts, and in this report, we review a military service member presenting with electrocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) findings that recognized a Chagas dilated cardiomyopathy. We present an updated Chagas staging classification incorporating CMR to increase diagnosing cardiomyopathies.
