Histopathological Correlates of Global and Segmental Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Experimental Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy

Abstract: BackgroundChronic Chagas cardiomyopathy in humans is characterized by segmental left ventricular wall motion abnormalities (WMA), mainly in the early stages of disease. This study aimed at investigating the detection of WMA and its correlation with the underlying histopathological changes in a chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy model in hamsters.Methods and ResultsFemale Syrian hamsters (n=34) infected with 3.5×104 or 105 blood trypomastigote Trypanosoma cruzi (Y strain) forms and an uninfected control group (n=7) … Show more

“…Echocardiography (ECHO) has been widely used to assess the ventricular function in humans and models of cardiac disease, as it is a low-cost tool for rapid acquisition of images without requirement of radioactive isotopes. 1,2,8 However, the echocardiographic evaluation, especially in small rodents, depends largely on the observer and has restricted interobserver reproducibility, limiting the detection of subtle changes. 9 …”

“…A prevalência da miocardite se correlaciona com a gravidade da insuficiência cardíaca (HIGUCHI et al, 1987) e correlação significativa foi descrita entre o grau de dilatação e disfunção sistólica ventricular esquerda e as alterações inflamatórias e fibróticas em modelo experimental de CCC em hamster sírios (BILATE et al, 2003;OLIVEIRA et al, 2016).…”

“…O mesmo comportamento pode ser observado em experimentos com outros modelos animais utilizando-se a cepa Y (CHAPADEIRO et al, 1988). No entanto, nossos resultados se assemelham a resultados observados por Oliveira et al (2016) onde foi observada uma mortalidade de 33% na fase aguda e de 10% na fase crônica no mesmo modelo de CCC em hamsters . Bilate et al (2003) também observou uma mortalidade de 30% na fase aguda e de 14% na fase crônica da doença utilizando a mesma cepa e quantidade inóculo de T. cruzi (BILATE et al, 2003).…”
