Analysis of Regional Left Ventricular Strain in Patients with Chagas Disease and Normal Left Ventricular Systolic Function

Highlights • The authors evaluated LV ε in patients with no signs or in the early stage of Chagas heart disease. • Patients had normal global and segmental LV systolic function by 2D echocardiography. • Global and segmental LV ε were similar among the studied groups. • Global LV ε was decreased in p...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The authors evaluated LV ε in patients with no signs or in the early stage of Chagas heart disease. • Patients had normal global and segmental LV systolic function by 2D echocardiography. • Global and segmental LV ε were similar among the studied groups. • Global LV ε was decreased in patients with cardiac fibrosis.
