“…The investigations carried out in Bambuí during the 1940 decade had a great impact, facilitating the recognition of Chagas heart disease on the part of general clinicians (Laranja et al 1948a, Laranja 1953). Serology (Guerreiro & Machado 1913) was the tool that confirmed the diagnosis of a large number of cases and its credibility was established with the first 250 cases diagnosed parasitologically.…”

“…The clinical studies of numerous cases of Chagas disease in Bambuí, followed-up over a certain period of time, brought new elements for the clinical characterization of the disease, with the establishment of evolutionary types of different prognostic significance. It became clear that the electrocardiographic picture of the disease was not detected in similar groups of individuals with other types of heart disease (Laranja et al 1948b), with emphasis on the highly frequent ventricular estrasystoles, right branch block or auriculo-ventricular blocks, primary T wave alterations and alterations of the initial phase of the ventricular complex (Dias et al 1945). From a clinical viewpoint, the individualization of this cardiopathy was helped by the different forms of dyspnea, the frequent occurrence of passive liver congestion as an early manifestation of cardiac failure, the easy restoration of the circulatory equilibrium during the first decompensations, the frequent unfolding and accentuation of the 2nd sound in the pulmonary focus, and the late character of the cardiopathy during the course of the disease, with a slow evolution and a long patient survival (Dias et al 1945).…”

“…The main two phases of human infection (acute and chronic) can be reproduced in dogs (Andrade et al 1997). Dogs have also been recommended as a good model for the study of pathological changes during the course of the disease (Laranja et al 1948, 1949, Anselmi 1965, 1967, Lana et al 1992, Machado et al 2001) and also as natural sentinels in surveillance areas where a vector control campaign has been performed (Castañera et al 1998).…”
