10 Chagas Disease Symptoms
Symptom #5: Heart Failure Symptoms
In Chagas disease, heart failure is seen in patients who have had the disease for 10 to 30 years. The failure occurs due to the enlargement of the ventricles of the heart, which means the heart is no longer able to pump blood sufficiently to meet the body’s needs.
This causes symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, leg swelling, and more. There can also be chest pain. Treatment for heart failure depends on the severity of the condition.
