Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Chagas disease is considered one of the main cause of dilated cardiomyopathy in Latin America. The histopathological characteristics of Chagas' disease are the presence of myocarditis, destruction of heart fibers, and severe myocardial fibrosis. Colchicine had a protective effect on myocardium, indicated by decreased interstitial myocardial fibrosis and attenuated myocardial inflammation. It is an inflammatory cause of cardiomyopathy and myocardial fibrosis is the hallmark of this disease. Colchicine is a drug used in inflammatory diseases, and could also act on myocardial remodeling interfering in the synthesis of collagen
