ABSTRACT
Abstract INTRODUCTION:
We investigated the occurrence of coronary sinus abnormalities in the indeterminate form of Chagas disease (CD).METHODS:
Differences between the maximum and minimum diameters of the coronary sinus (∆%) on echocardiography were evaluated in individuals with the indeterminate form of CD (n=14) and those without (n=16) CD. The association of the difference with abnormalities detected by echocardiography and myocardial scintigraphy was assessed.RESULTS:
The mean Δ% values did not differ significantly between the groups. There was no correlation of the measurements with echocardiographic and myocardial scintigraphy findings.CONCLUSIONS:
The coronary sinus evaluation revealed no differences between the groups.
