Resumo
A cardiomiopatia chagásica está presente na história da humanidade, desde os primórdios da civilização. No continente americano, aproximadamente 200 milhões de pessoas estão afetadas por essa doença, principalmente em seu Hemisfério Sul, ocasionando importantes danos econômicos e sociais. A grande variedade de cepas e seu comportamento clínico obscuro na fase crônica indeterminada intensificam as falhas de diagnóstico e morte súbita. Sendo o cão um modelo experimental adequado para o estudo dessa doença em humanos, realizou-se este trabalho visando a caracterizar as alterações eletrocardiográficas, ecodopplercardiográficas e hematimétricas, de cães experimentalmente infectados com Trypanosoma cruzi, cepa Colombiana, em sua fase crônica indeterminada. Para tanto, 13 cães adultos, fêmeas foram infectados com o referido protozoário e submetidos a avaliações eletrocardiográfica, hematimétrica, bioquímico-sérica e ecocardiográfica durante sua fase crônica (1997 a 2004). A arritmia sinusal respiratória foi o ritmo predominante durante todo o período experimental, com baixa prevalência de bloqueio de ramo direito e crescente incidência de bloqueio atrioventricular de primeiro grau. A avaliação ecodopplercardiográfica revelou inversão das ondas E e A mitral, confirmando o distúrbio diastólico nesses animais. A avaliação bioquímica revelou atividade enzimática aumentada, confirmando a lesão cardíaca provocada pela infecção mesmo nesta fase. Desta forma, o presente ensaio contribui de forma singular para o conhecimento clínico desta afecção, trazendo mais informações acerca da tênue e obscura linha que separa a fase crônica indeterminada e a fase crônica cardíaca, na espécie canina experimentalmente infectada pela cepa Colombina do Trypanosoma cruzi.
The Chagasic cardiomiopathy is present in the human history since the first civilization. In the American continent, 200 millions people have been affecting by this disease, mainly in south hemisphere, causing important economics and social damages. The great number of strains and obscure clinical behavior in the indeterminate phase, intensify diagnostic failure and increase sudden death. The dog is an excellent experimental model to study this disease in human, therefore this research was developed to characterize the electrocardiographic, echodopplercardiographic and haematological changes, in experimentally infected dogs with Trypanosoma cruzi, Colombian strain, in a chronic indeterminate phase. For that, thirteen infected adult dogs, female, were submitted to electrocardiographic, haematological, biochemical and echocardiographic evaluations during a chronic phase (1997 to 2004). The respiratory sinus arrhythmia was the most frequent rhythm during this research, with low prevalence of right bundle branch block and growing incidence of first degree atrioventricular block. The echocardiographic mitral waves E and A inversion, demonstrated the diastolic dysfunction on this animals. All tested serum enzymes had increased activity, confirming the cardiac lesion caused by the infection even in that phase. Therefore, this research contributed in a unique way for the clinic knowledge of this disease, bringing more information about this fine transition line between the indeterminate and cardiac phase, in experimentally Trypanosoma. cruzi, Colombian strain infection of canine species.
