Cardiovascular biomarkers as predictors of adverse outcomes in chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy.

<h4>Background</h4>Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a unique form of cardiomyopathy compared to other etiologies of heart failure. In CCM, risk prediction based on biomarkers has not been well-studied. We assessed the prognostic value of a biomarker panel to predict a composite out...
