Temporal trends in the contribution of Chagas cardiomyopathy to mortality among patients with heart failure

Abstract: Although the absolute death rates decreased over time in the ChC and NChC groups, the PAR of ChC for mortality increased among patients with HF, driven by increases in the HR associated with ChC. Our results highlight the need for additional efforts aiming to prevent and treat ChC.

“…[5][6][7][8] Indeed, a recent study from Brazil concluded that the population attributable mortality risk from CCC increased between 2002/2004 and 2012/2014. 9 Future trials should consider recruiting larger numbers of patients with CCC to allow adequately powered subgroup analysis and even trials specifically in CCC would be justified, given the magnitude of this problem. Until that time, patients with CCC should be treated empirically with therapies recommended by guidelines, on the assumption that treatments for patients with reduced ejection fraction are effective, irrespective of aetiology of HF.…”
