Summary: The study found that a maternal diet high in Ω-3 PUFA can prevent dyslipidemia in non-pregnant mice and maintain the expected lipid profile during pregnancy, while a very low Ω-3 PUFA diet can lead to hyperlipidemia in mice before pregnancy and during pregnancy. Omega (n)-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are crucial for maintaining maternal metabolic profile and fetal sustainability during pregnancy.

Summary: Chagas cardiomyopathy, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a significant cardiovascular disease with high morbidity and mortality rates in developing countries. It is considered a Neglected Tropical Disease by the World Health Organization, and early detection and treatment is crucial in both endemic and non-endemic regions. This review provides an overview of the current incidence and prevalence of Chagas disease, as well as the main pathogenic mechanisms, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of Chagas cardiomyopathy.

Summary: This study proposes two sets of DNA methylation biomarkers that can predict the occurrence and stage of Chagas disease cardiomyopathy. Using machine learning algorithms, predictions in a test cohort achieved an accuracy of over 95%. These biomarkers are also associated with immune response, nervous system, ion transport, and ATP synthesis pathways.

Summary: This article provides an overview of recent research on cardiomyopathies and nutritional heart disease that are more prevalent in tropical regions. The development of these diseases is complicated by poverty, fragmented healthcare systems, and limited access to healthcare due to socioeconomic inequalities. This review proposes an approach for diagnosing and caring for patients with suspected or confirmed tropical cardiomyopathies and nutritional heart disease.

Summary: This study demonstrated the potential therapeutic value of targeting the Ca2+/CaM-CaMKII pathway in preventing and treating Chagasic cardiomyopathy. Inhibition of this pathway reversed arrhythmic profiles and restored cardiac function in experimental models, suggesting a promising strategy for managing this condition.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze the correlation of six biochemical markers with diastolic function echocardiographic markers and DD diagnosis in patients with Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCM). Results showed that higher levels of NT-proBNP, Hs-cTnT, NGAL, and Cys-C were associated with an increased odds of having diastolic dysfunction in multivariate analyses. NT-proBNP had the highest AUC value for discriminating DD presence.

Summary: This study found that substituting commonly consumed dining facility foods with items higher in DHA and EPA and lower in n-6 PUFA can have a positive impact on blood fatty acid profile. The intervention group had a higher omega-3 index score, lower total n-6, and higher serum concentration of EPA compared to the control group. Satisfaction with the intervention foods improved or remained consistent.

Summary: A study in Brazil evaluated a case series of Chagas heart disease patients using sacubitril/valsartan, finding symptomatic improvement after 6 months but no changes in ventricular remodelling, with high mortality and hospitalization rates. These results highlight the importance of studying the effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan in Chagas heart disease to better understand its impact on these individuals.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cardiovascular rehabilitation on the functional capacity of patients with chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy (CCC), and to compare the responses between CCC patients without and with heart failure (HF). The results showed that cardiovascular rehabilitation significantly improved the functional capacity of patients with CCC, and the responses were similar between patients without and with HF, indicating the importance of including it as a standard treatment strategy for CCC.

Summary: This study analysed the association between socio-epidemiological factors and comorbidities with clinical manifestations of Chagas disease (CD). The results showed that age and Brazilian birth state were associated with the cardiac form of CD. Men and older individuals were more likely to have the digestive form, while patients with arterial hypertension and diabetes were less likely to have the digestive form. Men had a greater likelihood of having a more severe cardiac presentation.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effects of a home-based exercise program on physical and mental health outcomes in individuals with indeterminate form of CD. The study will include patients with indeterminate form of CD, who will be randomly assigned to either receive a home-based exercise program or only general information about the benefits of physical activity. The findings may support interventions to improve physical and mental health parameters in this population.

Summary: This study investigated the prognostic value of biomarkers and new echocardiogram parameters in predicting outcomes of patients with chronic Chagas disease. The results showed that LV end-diastolic volume, strain analyses, 3-dimensional analyses, brain natriuretic peptide, and positive T cruzi polymerase chain reaction were independent predictors of cardiovascular events in CD patients.

Summary: Diagnosis of T. cruzi infection in the chronic phase of CD is usually done through serologic testing. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are a convenient alternative for screening, but few studies have compared their performance. This study analyzed four RDTs and found high diagnostic ability, with WL Check Chagas and TR Chagas Bio-Manguinhos being the most suitable for screening studies.

Summary: In the absence of validated biomarkers, PCR-based diagnosis is being used for an early indication of therapeutic failure in Chagas disease. The NAT Chagas kit, based on qPCR, has been validated as an excellent alternative for molecular diagnosis in both public and private diagnostic centers. It showed 100% sensitivity and specificity in comparison to the in-house real-time PCR assay.

Summary: This review analyzed the relationship between the increase in inflammatory markers associated with chronic fibrosing myocarditis and the reduction in inspiratory muscle strength in patients with chronic Chagas disease. However, there is limited literature in this field. More randomized clinical trials are needed to evaluate inspiratory muscle strength and the effects of training in order to better understand the prevalence and risk of inspiratory muscle weakness in patients with Chagas disease.
