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...
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...
Abstract Aims The prospective, multicentre Peripartum Cardiomyopathy in Nigeria (PEACE) registry originally demonstrated a high prevalence of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) among patients originating from Kano, North‐West Nigeria. In post hoc analysis, we sought to determine if this phenomenon was characterized by differential case profile and outcome PPCM cases elsewhere. Methods results Overall, 199 (81.6%) total 244 were recruited three sites compared with 45 (18.4%) 11 widely dispersed...
Background: Prehypertension is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This could partly be explained by the early compromise in left ventricular (LV) structure function. study investigated LV geometry function young black prehypertensive subjects. Methods results: cross-sectional descriptive was conducted at Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria. Echocardiography-derived were assessed using standardized methods. Prehypertensive...
Abstract Background Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) seems to have varied epidemiology within and between countries. We recently reported that Kano (North-West Nigeria) has the highest known incidence of PPCM in world, but clinical profiles patients by regions not been previously reported. In this study, we aimed describe regional differences (if any) with Nigeria. Methods consecutively recruited 244 over 9 months from 3 hospitals (n=199; 81.6%) 11 spread across North-Central, South-West,...
Background: The relationship between blood pressure (BP) trajectories and outcomes in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is not clear. Aim: study aimed to assess the clinical features (all-cause mortality unrecovered left ventricular [LV] systolic function) of PPCM grouped according their baseline BP (SBP). Patients Methods: presenting 14 tertiary hospitals Nigeria were consecutively recruited June 2017 March 2018 then followed up till 2019. SBP at first presentation was used...
Introduction: Hyponatraemia is a well-described independent poor prognostic marker for heart failure (HF). However, its significance in peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) unknown. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that hyponatremia will have PPCM patients. Methods: In this post-hoc analysis of PEACE registry results, we aimed to determine the consecutively recruited patients from 14 sites Nigeria and followed them up median 18 months. Serum sodium was measured at baseline, with (<135mmol/L) were...
