- The article summarizes the research results concerning the characterization of the variability of heart rate in patients with Chagas disease, located in the state of Meta in Colombia. Currently Chagas disease is present in one million people of the Colombian population and 7 million people in Latin America. For this reason it is a condition that deserves to be studied and researched in order to contribute to the health sector of modern society. The methodology used was experimental, where two patients groups were organized with residents and natives of the department of Meta. A group affected by Chagas disease and the other group consisting of people not affected by the disease. Therefore, the study population underwent an electrocardiogram (ECG) with measuring instruments calibrated and approved by the FDA.. The results once applied the techniques of spectral analysis and time using the Kubios software indicate values of heart rate (HR), standard heartbeat and heart rate, percentage deviation and number of beats, entropy, low and high frequency . Finally it concluded that in patients with Chagas disease so there is less entropy less variability in heart rate compared to patients in the control group unaffected by the disease.
