Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) accounts for over a million premature deaths annually; however, there is little contemporary information on presentation, complications, and treatment.This prospective registry enrolled 3343 patients (median age 28 years, 66.2% female) presenting with RHD at 25 hospitals in 12 African countries, India, Yemen between January 2010 November 2012. The majority (63.9%) had moderate-to-severe multivalvular complicated by congestive failure (33.4%), pulmonary...
Background: There are few contemporary data on the mortality and morbidity associated with rheumatic heart disease or information their predictors. We report 2-year follow-up of individuals from 14 low- middle-income countries in Africa Asia. Methods: Between January 2010 November 2012, we enrolled 3343 patients 25 centers followed them for 2 years to assess mortality, congestive failure, stroke transient ischemic attack, recurrent acute fever, infective endocarditis. Results: Vital status...
Hospice and palliative care development, in terms of availability services, occur to varying degrees the developing world. In this paper, evolution practices four nations (Nigeria, Georgia, Ethiopia Tanzania) is described. By highlighting common problems as well unique individual perspectives each country's practice, paper aims at increasing global awareness While call for become a fundamental human right sustained, it also hoped that article will stimulate discussion on best possible way...
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a significant global health challenge, constituting over 80% of mortality and morbidity. This burden is particularly pronounced in low- middle-income countries (LMICs), including Ethiopia. Despite this, there's limited research on this issue Africa. study aims to investigate the prevalence, patterns, outcomes NCDs hospitalized populations across three tertiary hospitals
Abstract Background In population studies of heart failure (HF), diabetes has been shown to be an independent risk factor. However, the evidence evaluating mellitus (DM) as factor in incident HF patients with ischemic disease (IHD) is scarce. Our study aimed assess incidence diabetic IHD compared non-diabetic Ethiopia. Methods A retrospective cohort was conducted among 306 followed-up at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital Addis Ababa, The who did not have baseline were followed for 24 months...
heart failure (HF) is a major complication following ischemic disease (IHD) and it adversely affects the outcome. The objective of this study was to identify predictors HF in patients with IHD.this 24-month longitudinal retrospective all consecutive diagnosed IHD. Endpoints were incident time HF. Patients previous history excluded.a total 306 IHD included analysis. 6-month, 12-month 18-month cumulative risk developing 18.8%, 28.4%, 53.5% respectively. Increasing age, female gender, diabetes...
Thyroid hormones have an effect on every organ system, in particular, the heart responds to minimal changes serum thyroid hormone level. causes a lot of cardiovascular such as increased rate, contractility, systolic hypertension, peripheral vascular resistance, atrial fibrillation (AF), and hypercoagulability from direct cardiac myocyte /or due metabolic state. However, magnitude abnormalities its associated factors were not well studied Ethiopia.
Background: Our aim was to study the clinical characteristics and predictors of mortality in heart failure (HF) with diuretic resistance. Methods: We conducted a 5-year retrospective on 119 HF patients resistance at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Teaching Hospital. The primary endpoint mortality. compared baseline assessed association who received high-dose (≥120 mg) versus low-dose (<120 furosemide. Bivariate multivariate logistic regression analyses were done. Results: Patients receiving had...
Background: Risk factors for heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or HF preserved (HFpEF) in Ethiopian and Sub-Saharan African patients ischemic disease (IHD) is not well-known. Methods: This a cohort study where 228 IHD were recruited followed retrospectively over 24 months period. Exclusion criteria known at baseline absence of echocardiography data. From clinical echocardiographic patient characteristics, risk incident HFpEF HFrEF analyzed. Results: New-onset was...
Left ventricular (LV) aneurysm (LVA) is an uncommon cardiac disorder. There no documented report from Ethiopia. Our objective was to discuss a case of LVA we encountered and analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, management modalities, outcome patients with published studies over last 200 years. in addition encountered, searched PubMed for publications on analyzed those reported since 1816. We identified 369 LVA. The mean age at diagnosis 31.7 ± 21.7 years, 52.3% them were males....
Abstract Background In population studies of heart failure (HF), diabetes was shown to be an independent risk factor but the evidence regarding Diabetes Mellitus (DM) having incremental effect in incidence HF patients with ischemic disease (IHD) is scarce. Our study aimed assess diabetic IHD compared non-diabetic patients. Methods A retrospective cohort conducted among 306 followed-up at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The who did not have baseline were followed for...
Abstract Background: In population studies of heart failure (HF), diabetes mellitus (DM) has been shown to be an independent risk factor. However, the evidence evaluating it as factor in incident HF patients with ischemic disease (IHD) is scarce. Our study aimed assess incidence diabetic IHD compared non-diabetic Ethiopia. Methods: A retrospective cohort was conducted among 306 followed-up at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital Addis Ababa, The who did not have baseline were followed for 24...

Background Echocardiographic predictors for new onset heart failure in patients with ischemic disease reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) or preserved (HFpEF) Ethiopian and Sub-Saharan African is not well-known. Methods Two hundred twenty-eight were retrospectively recruited followed. Analysis on baseline clinical echocardiographic characteristics of patients, risk factors HFpEF HFrEF done. The exclusion criteria known at those who did have echocardiography data. Results...
