Why the study?
Cardiac arrhythmias are expected to increase in low- and middle-income countries, but studies on their epidemiology and management remain limited.
This review highlights the growing burden of cardiac arrhythmias in LMICs and the unique challenges and opportunities for their management.
Emphasizes context-specific arrhythmia strategies in LMICs; leaves open prospective studies on scalable implementation.
Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are undergoing an epidemiological transition. With an improvement in socioeconomic conditions and an aging population, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), like cardiac arrhythmias, are expected to increase in these countries. However, there are limited studies on the epidemiology and management of cardiac arrhythmias in LMICs. This review will highlight the unique challenges and opportunities that these countries face when managing cardiac arrhythmias.
