Evolução dos conhecimentos sôbre a cardiopatia da doenca de Chagas: revisão crítica da literatura

Abstract: Foi feita uma revisão critica da literatura sobre cardiopatia da Doença de Chagas, discutindo-se os principais aspectos clínicos desta cardiopatia á luz da experiência por nós adquirida nestes últimos anos. A evolução dos conhecimentos clínicos sobre esquisotripanose pode ser sintetisada em três fases: a) A primeira corresponde á descoberta da doença, feita por Chagas, e á descrição por ele e seus primeiros colaboradores das manifestações clínicas essenciais da nova entidade mórbida, na qual distinguiu a forma… Show more

“…It was promoted through the influence of Evandro Chagas and Amilcar Vianna Martins and implemented by Emmanuel Dias, under the decision of the Institute Director, Dr Henrique Aragão. In 1943/44, Dias made a complete survey of the municipality, finding astonishing epidemiological indicators such as a house infestation rate of 70%, natural infection of the bugs by T.cruzi around 30-40%, and 45% of positive serology among rural children under 10 years old (Dias 1944(Dias , 1997 (Laranja 1949, Dias 1993. In 1956 the group published their conclusions about Chagas cardiopathy in Circulation (the most important medical journal on cardiology, at that time), a work which is still considered as the definitive contribution about the characteristics of chronic Chagas heart disease (Laranja et al 1956).…”

“…But this line would not be sufficient, since the basic political subject was not the parasite, but human disease. At this point, Chagas worked in several projects seeking to clarify the epidemiology of HAT, particularly in relation to diagnosis and clinical characterisation of the chronic phase of the disease -especially chronic heart disease (Laranja 1949, Dias 1988. Nevertheless, during the first 30 years after the discovery, knowledge of the disease remained polarised between entomological aspects and the acute phase of HAT -reflecting the fashion for microbiological research of that time.…”

“…As reported by Laranja (1949), many disorders of conduction could not have been demonstrated by the methods existing at the time of Chagas and the true incidence of conductibility disturbances, which predominate over cardiac excitability, became known only after the electrocardiographic studies conducted in Bambuí.…”

“…Para tanto, o desenvolvimento da eletrocardiografia e a sistematização dos quadros mais típicos da cardiopatia chagásica foram fundamentais, transcorrendo especialmente a partir dos trabalhos de Francisco Laranja 27,29 . Em paralelo, a reprodução experimental das cardiopatias chagásicas aguda e crônica em animais de laboratório, especialmente o cão e o macaco, consolidou de vez a interpretação definitiva da patogenia e da evolução da manifestação mais importante da DCH 25,27,32 .…”
