Erythropoietin as a treatment of anemia in heart failure: systematic review of randomized trials.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Parasympathetic dysautonomia is an established feature of advanced Chagas cardiomyopathy. However, in the absence of cardiac involvement, the presence of vagal dysfunction remains controversial. In a cross-sectional study, we compared patients with Chagas disease without cardiac involvement and healthy indiv...
