title: Depletion of heart norepinephrine in experimental acute myocarditis caused by Trypanosoma cruzi.
abstract: The norepinephrine content of the heart was reduced to undetectable values in rats inoculated with Trypanosoma cruzi. This fact indicates a massive involvement of the cardiac postganglionic sympathetic fibres in acute Chagas disease.
