A woman (49 years) with Chagas’ disease showed: ECG, right bundle‐branch block and left anterior–superior fascicular block; V 1 has unusual R > R’, and elevated ST segment from V 2 to V 6 . Additional imaging revealed concomitant HCM and Chagas, which is uncommon. Overlapping of ECG findings can be explained by this rare association of diseases.
