ABSTRACT
Chagas cardiomyopathy, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a significant cause of cardiac pathology worldwide. Though most frequently observed in Latin America, Chagas disease is present in the United States and should be considered in patients with heart block or other cardiac abnormalities and previous travel to or residence in endemic areas. Here we describe a new diagnosis of Chagas cardiomyopathy in a patient residing in Virginia with a previous residence in Mexico.
