Background Coronary artery disease was hitherto a rarity in Africa. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) accounts for disease-related morbidity and mortality. Reports on ACS Africa are few. Methods Results We enrolled 1072 indigenous Nigerian people 59.2±12.4 years old (men, 66.8%) with an observational multicentered national registry (2013-2018). Outcome measures included incidence, intervention times, reperfusion rates, 1-year The incidence of 59.1 per 100 000 hospitalized adults year, comprised...

Hypertension and its complications are now responsible for about a quarter of emergency medical admissions in urban hospitals Nigeria. It is the commonest risk factor stroke, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, dementia. Furthermore, high blood pressure cause sudden unexpected natural death country. Regrettably, rate awareness, treatment, control abysmally low country many parts world. May Measurement Month (MMM) global initiative International Society aimed at raising awareness (BP) to...
This study investigated plasma sodium/potassium ratio, markers of oxidative stress, renal function, and endothelial dysfunction in hypertensive Nigerians.Five hundred forty-nine volunteers consisting three twenty-four two twenty-five controls participated this study. Blood samples were collected from the participants analyzed for electrolytes, dysfunction, inflammation, using ion-selective electrodes, spectrophotometric, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods, respectively.The mean...
Background and Purpose: Hypertension is a major medical condition that can cause many complications sudden death when not appropriately controlled. This study determined serum calcium, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, renin, angiotensin II, I converting enzyme, aldosterone in hypertensive individuals, as these compounds play key roles regulating human blood pressure. Materials Methods: case-control was conducted on 549 (324 cases 225 controls) individuals between October 2018 September 2020....
Abstract Double-outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a complex and rare congenital heart disease (CHD), which usually symptomatic early in childhood thus diagnosed early. Dextrocardia another CHD that can occur either as an isolated cardiac abnormality or may be associated with other defects. However, the co-occurrence of DORV dextrocardia rare, especially adult life. We present 35-year-old Nigerian lady situs inversus totalis CHD, included multiple intracardiac shunts, occurring...
Background: The prevalence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Nigeria is on the rise with dire morbidity and mortality risks. Cardiac biomarkers are rapid sensitive tools used as adjunct diagnosis ACS. clinical utility cardiac yet to be well explored Nigerian setting.

Introduction: sleep disordered breathing is a phenomenon known to occur among patients with heart failure and has the potential worsen an already grave prognosis. It however not been well studied in sub-Saharan Africa, probably due expense technicality of equipment needed do so. The objective this study was establish prevalence using simple monitor determine clinical demographic correlates phenomenon.
