Abstract

The public health concerns from Chagas disease warrant improved cardiovascular imaging efforts, and in this report, we review a military service member presenting with electrocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) findings that recognized a Chagas dilated cardiomyopathy. We present an updated Chagas staging classification incorporating CMR to increase diagnosing cardiomyopathies.
