Right-sided cardiac signs predominate in canine chronic Chagas with age at presentation linked to survival; hypothesis-generating and requires larger prospective confirmation.
Observational (n=11)
Chronic T cruzi infection in dogs in Texas is associated with right-sided cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmias, and variable survival times linked to age at presentation.
Meurs et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection (n=11). Chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection was evaluated on Prevalence changes and clinical aspects including survival time, clinical signs, and cardiac abnormalities. In 11 dogs with chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection, clinical signs indicated right-sided cardiac disease, and age at initial examination was associated with survival time.
