[Study of sinus node function and atrioventricular conduction in patients with chagas disease (author's transl)].

In order to detect possible abnormalities in sinus node function and atrio-ventricular conduction, one hundred and fourty three chagasic patients were subjected to electrophysiologic and pharmacologic studies. These patients were placed in four categories based on the their clinical, hemodynamic and angiographic characteristics. The chagasic patient without cardiac involvement (group IA), had no detectable abnormalities. Ten percent of those patients with early myocardial damage (group IB), had impaired sinus node automaticity. In three percent, the autonomic innervation was also altered and four percent had abnormally prolonged atrio-ventricular conduction. Among chagasic patients with abnormal EKG'S without heart failure (Group II), 45% had impaired sinus node automaticity, autonomic innervation was altered in 12%, and atrio-ventricular conduction was prolonged in 37%. Sinus node automaticity was impaired in 22% of those patients with abnormal EKG'S and heart failure (Group III). Autonomic innervation was altered in 33%, and atrio-ventricular conduction was prolonged in 47%. We conclude that over half of our patients with abnormal EKG'S will eventually require permanent pacing. Therefore, in these chagasic patients sinus node function and atrioventricular conduction should be routinely studied.
