Association of Bartonella spp bacteremia with Chagas cardiomyopathy, endocarditis and arrythmias in patients from South America
Infection with Bartonella spp may cause cardiac arrhythmias, myocarditis and endocarditis in humans. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a possible association between Bartonella spp bacteremia and endocarditis, arrhythmia and Chagas cardiomyopathy in patients from Brazil and Argentina. We screened for the presence of bacterial 16S rRNA in human blood by PCR using oligonucleotides to a...
متن کامل[Adenosine induces ventricular arrythmias in hearts with chronic chagas cardiomyopathy].

This study involved pharmacologic analysis of the arrhythmogenic properties of adenosine in healthy Sprague-Dawley rats (n=14) and in rats with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (n=14). Electrocardiographic and pharmacologic studies were performed on isolated hearts...
