Serum cytokines and tissue doppler imaging as markers of prognosis of chronic myocarditis due to chagas disease
Identifying IL-5, IL1-B and IL-13 as probable independent predictors of events at an early stage of Chagas disease is a significant milestone to the understanding of this pathology evolution. Also, several tissue Doppler parameters were important as prognosis predictors.
