Chagas Disease: Medical and ECG Related Findings in an Indigenous Population in Colombia.Chagas Disease (CD) is highly prevalent among the indigenous populations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia.

CD diagnosis was based on a rapid test, two different ELISAs, and a specific and highly sensitive Chagas real-time PCR.

Chagas Disease: Medical and ECG Related Findings in an Indigenous Population in Colombia.Chagas Disease (CD) is highly prevalent among the indigenous populations in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia.  In the present study, associated medical conditions were assessed with a particular focus on ECG alterations.  Interestingly, ECG-findings were found to show the potential of leading to early CD diagnosis because ECG alterations were already seen in early stagechanges of the disease.  In conclusion, although the observed ECG changes are unspecific, they should be considered as an indicator for a CD screening and, in case of positive results, an associated early treatment of the disease.
