MeSH definition : A disease of the CARDIAC MUSCLE developed subsequent to the initial protozoan infection
by TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI. After infection, less than 10% develop acute illness such as
MYOCARDITIS (mostly in children). The disease then enters a latent phase without clinical
symptoms until about 20 years later. Myocardial symptoms of advanced CHAGAS DISEASE
include conduction defects (HEART BLOCK) and CARDIOMEGALY.;
