Apical lesions of the left ventricle, ranging from endocardial thickening to aneurysms, are commonly found in Chagas' heart disease. These abnormalities can be identified by ventriculography, two-dimensional echocardiography and radioisotopic studies. Generally, clinical manifestations are limited to arrhythmias and thromboembolic. The lesions are usually small and apparently do not play a role in ventricular dysfunction.
左心室心尖部病变，从心内膜增厚到动脉瘤，在恰加斯心脏病中很常见。这些异常可通过心室造影、二维超声心动图和放射性同位素研究来识别。一般来说，临床表现仅限于心律失常和血栓栓塞。这些病变通常较小，显然在心室功能障碍中不起作用。
