title: Rare Association: Chagas' Disease and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
abstract: A woman (49 years) with Chagas' disease showed: ECG, right bundle-branch block and left anterior-superior fascicular block; V1 has unusual R > R', and elevated ST segment from V2 to V6 . Additional imaging revealed concomitant HCM and Chagas, which is uncommon. Overlapping of ECG findings can be explained by this rare association of diseases.
