5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study evaluate the addition of colchicine in the treatment of patients with Chagas´disease. Forty patients will receive colchicine while twenty patients will receive placebo
Detailed Description
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
