Shown are significant findings (P<0.05) of ECG abnormalities and chronic histopathology in T. cruzi infected mice. ^↑QRS, increased QRS intervals as compared to uninfected control mice, ^↑QT, increased QT intervals as compared to uninfected control mice, ^↑^TQT, non-significant, but a strong trend of increased QT intervals as compared to uninfected control mice, ^↑Heart, significant inflammation detected in cardiac tissues at 60 and/or 90 days PI compared to uninfected control mice, ^↑Skeletal, significant inflammation detected in skeletal muscle tissues detected at 60 and/or 90 days PI compared to uninfected control mice.
