Resumo: Aims: To evaluate the presence of late potentials in the signal-averaged electrocardiogram (SAECG) of patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas’ disease. Methods: Forty four consecutive healthy blood donors and 59 refused candidates to blood donation because of positive tests for Chagas’ disease were submitted to SAECG. Results: Among controls, 15 (34.1%) had late potentials present, whereas 13 (22.5%) patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas’ disease had abnormal SAECG (p=0.23). Conclusions: Blood donors with the indeterminate form of Chagas’ disease do not present late potentials in the SAECG in a proportion significantly different when compared to controls.

Métodos: foi realizado ECGAR em 59 portadores da forma indeterminada da Doença de Chagas e 44 controles, selecionados na rotina de bancos de sangue. Foi considerado positivo o ECGAR com dois ou três critérios presentes para potenciais tardios. Resultados: entre os controles houve 15 (34,1%) pacientes com ECGAR positivo, enquanto entre os portadores da forma indeterminada da Doença de Chagas apresentaram-se 13 (22%) com positividade para o exame (p=0,23). Conclusões: entre os portadores da forma indeterminada e os controles negativos para Doença de Chagas não houve diferença significativa na prevalência de potenciais tardios ao ECGAR.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2009-05-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/3642Scientia Medica; Vol. 19 No. 2 (2009); 64-68Scientia Medica; v. 19 n. 2 (2009); 64-681980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
