Most data on mortality and prognostic factors in patients with heart failure come from North America Europe, little information other regions. Here, the International Congestive Heart Failure (INTER-CHF) study, we aimed to measure at 1 year Africa, China, India, Middle East, southeast Asia South America; also explored demographic, clinical, socioeconomic variables associated mortality.We enrolled consecutive (3695 [66%] clinic outpatients, 2105 [34%] hospital patients) 108 centres six...
Background: Poor health-related quality of life (HRQL) is common in heart failure (HF), but there are few data on HRQL HF and the association between mortality outside Western countries. Methods: We used Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire–12 (KCCQ-12) to record 23 291 patients with from 40 countries 8 different world regions G-CHF study (Global Congestive Heart Failure). compared standardized KCCQ-12 summary scores (adjusted for age, sex, markers severity) among (scores range 0 100,...
BackgroundThere is a paucity of data on the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes women compared with men heart failure in low-income middle-income countries high-income countries. We examined sex differences risk factors, treatments, prospectively assessed hospitalisation mortality patients 40 high-income, middle-income, countries.MethodsParticipants aged 18 years or older were enrolled from Dec 20, 2016, to Sept 9, 2020 prospective Global Congestive Heart Failure (G-CHF) study...
The study aimed to determine if selenium deficiency, serum ceruloplasmin and traditional birth practices are risk factors for peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM), in Kano, Nigeria. This is a case-control carried out three hospitals, PPCM patients were followed up six months. Critically low concentration was defined as <70 µg/L. A total of 39 50 controls consecutively recruited after satisfying the inclusion criteria. Mean (61.7 ± 14.9 µg/L) significantly lower than (118.4 45.6 (p < 0.001)....
Abstract Aims The aim of this study was to describe the incidence, clinical characteristics and risk factors peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) in Nigeria. Methods Results conducted 22 hospitals Nigeria, PPCM patients were consecutively recruited between June 2017 March 2018. To determine associated with PPCM, compared apparently healthy women who recently delivered, as controls. Four hundred six 99 incidence disease burden (based on rate consecutive recruitment subjects) varied widely...
Heart failure is a major and growing public health problem worldwide. The prognosis of Failure (HF) uniformly poor despite advances in treatment. aims the present study were to determine causes HF among patients admitted Nigerian tertiary medical centre, prevalence factors known be associated with these patients, compare between males females. was cross-sectional design, carried out on eligible who consecutively HF, Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano, Nigeria. following established assessed:...
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a devastating, progressive disease with increasingly debilitating symptoms and usually shortened overall life expectancy due to narrowing of the pulmonary vasculature consecutive right heart failure. Little known about PH in Africa, but limited reports suggest that more prevalent Africa compared developed countries high prevalence risk factors region.
To provide comprehensive information on the access and use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) catheter ablation procedures in Africa.The Pan-African Society Cardiology (PASCAR) collected data invasive management arrhythmias from 2011 to 2016 31 African countries. A specific template was completed by physicians, additional obtained industry. Information health care systems, demographics, economics, procedure rates, training programs collected. Considerable heterogeneity...
<strong>Background:</strong> A wide knowledge gap exists on the clinical profiles and outcomes of heart failure (HF) in sub-Saharan Africa. <strong>Objectives:</strong> To determine HF patients from five African countries. <strong>Methods:</strong> The INTERnational Congestive Heart Failure Study (INTER-CHF) is a prospective, multicenter cohort study. total 1,294 were consecutively recruited Nigeria (383 patients), South Africa (169 Sudan (501 Uganda (151patients), Mozambique (90 patients)....
Abstract Aims Hypertensive disorders occur in women with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). How often hypertensive co‐exist, and to what extent they impact outcomes, is less clear. We describe differences phenotype outcomes PPCM without during pregnancy. Methods results The European Society of Cardiology EURObservational Research Programme Registry enrolled from 2012–2018. Three groups were examined: (i) hypertension (PPCM‐noHTN); (ii) but pre‐eclampsia (PPCM‐HTN); (iii) (PPCM‐PE). Maternal...
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) causes pregnancy-associated heart failure, typically during the last month of pregnancy, and up to 6 months post-partum, in women without known cardiovascular disease. PPCM is a global disease, but with significant geographical variability within between countries. Its true incidence Africa still unknown because lack population-based study. The epidemiology countries could be due differences prevalence both genetic non-genetic risk factors. Several factors...
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with highest gross domestic product (GDP) as of 2022. However, burdened by significant health challenges including an extremely high maternal mortality ratio, inadequate human resources, poor healthcare infrastructure, and population-level poverty rates 40%. also has reported prevalence peripartum cardiomyopathy worldwide which contributes to mortality. Unfortunately, diagnosis often delayed following are (approximately 50%). Thus, there a huge...
