Cardiac Manifestations of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in a Domestic Dog. Academic Article

abstract

• Trypanosomiasis manifests as myocardial dysfunction with arrhythmias in dogs. Arrhythmias in this dog prompted further evaluation with echocardiography. Echocardiography confirms cardiac enlargement and dysfunction in Chagas myocarditis. Bundle branch block and ventricular aneurysms are features of Chagas disease. These features are more frequently described in humans than in dogs.
