Effect of Ganglionar Electrical Stimulation on Central Arterial Pressure

Effect of Ganglionar Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Central Arterial Pressure in Healthy Young Population

This study will evaluate the applications of ganglionar electrical stimulation in patients with Chagas Disease and Ischemic Heart Failure patients.

A Crossover Randomized Controlled Study will be developed with 3 groups: Healthy Older, Ischemic Heart Failure and Chagas Disease. This individuals will be randomized in two groups: TENS and placebo (same stimulus without electrical output) with 48 hrs between the interventions.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Ischemic and Chagas disease previously diagnosticated
• Age above 40 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

• No vascular disease
• No recent surgery
• No recent infections
