Se presenta el caso de un paciente latinoamericano con una miocardiopatía dilatada secundaria a una enfermedad de Chagas crónica tratada satisfactoriamente con medidas de soporte cardiológico. La intención es aportar una nueva etiología de insuficiencia cardiaca hasta ahora poco frecuente en nuestro medio pero que posiblemente vaya a aumentar debido a las corrientes migratorias actuales
