Effects of Selenium treatment on cardiac function in Chagas heart disease: Results from the STCC randomized Trial

by Marcelo T. Holanda et al.

Se treatment did not improve cardiac function (evaluated from LVEF) in CCC. However, in the subgroup of patients at B2 stage, a potential beneficial influence of Se was observed. Complementary studies are necessary to explore diverse Se dose and/or associations in different CCC stages (B2 and C), as well as in A and B1 stages with longer follow-up.
