Risk of COVID-19 in Chagas Disease Patients: What Happen with Cardiac Affectations?
Simple Summary
The SARS-Cov-2 virus appeared as a pandemic at the end of 2019. Since then, the literature on the effects of this disease has been increasing. Chagas disease is more than 110 years old since its discovery, and the implications of these patients when co-infected with SARS-Cov-2 have not been reported. In this review, we summarize the studies to date on the cardiac affectations generated by both diseases in humans, describing their possible interrelation, the damage that coinfection could generate, the analysis of the treatment for both diseases and recommendations to avoid SARS-Cov-2 infection in patients with Chagas disease. This is the first comprehensive review of cardiac disorders that can manifest in chagasic patients as a result of coinfection.
