Abstract

Chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) poses significant health challenges not only in Latin America but also in non-endemic regions due to global migration. The complexity and severity of CCC call for an updated and thorough review to inform clinical practices and direct future research efforts. This review seeks to consolidate current knowledge on CCC, emphasizing diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic facets to facilitate better management and understanding of the disease. An exhaustive examination was conducted, analyzing peer-reviewed articles published between January 2020 and April 2024, sourced from prominent medical databases such as PubMed and Scopus. The review delineates crucial aspects of CCC pathophysiology, evaluates patient outcomes, identifies diagnostic challenges, and assesses treatment efficacy. Our findings prompt the need for revised clinical guidelines and stress the importance of continued research to enhance therapeutic strategies and disease comprehension. It is imperative that future studies address these identified gaps to advance patient care and treatment options for CCC.

慢性恰加斯病心肌病的认识和治疗进展。

慢性恰加斯病心肌病（CCC）不仅在拉丁美洲，而且还因全球移民而在非流行地区构成了重大的健康挑战。由于 CCC 的复杂性和严重性，需要对其进行全面的最新综述，以指导临床实践和未来的研究工作。本综述旨在整合当前有关 CCC 的知识，强调诊断、治疗和预后方面，以促进更好地管理和了解该疾病。本综述对 2020 年 1 月至 2024 年 4 月间发表的同行评审文章进行了详尽的分析，这些文章来自 PubMed 和 Scopus 等著名医学数据库。综述描述了 CCC 病理生理学的关键方面，评估了患者的预后，确定了诊断难题，并评估了治疗效果。我们的研究结果提示了修订临床指南的必要性，并强调了继续研究以提高治疗策略和疾病理解能力的重要性。当务之急是在未来的研究中解决这些已发现的不足，以推进对患者的护理和 CCC 的治疗方案。
