Wide QRS complex tachycardia in patient with Chagas disease: Sustained ventricular tachycardia until proven otherwise

We describe a case of a patient with positive serology for Chagas disease and normal echocardiogram who presented an episode of wide QRS complex tachycardia. It was initially diagnosed as sustained ventricular tachycardia using the Brugada and Vereckei algorithms and it was sent to the reference service for the implant of a cardioverter defibrillator.
