What are the causes, treatment, and outcomes of acute heart failure in African patients?
1006 African patients with acute heart failure (AHF) from 9 countries. Demographics: middle-aged adults, equally men and women.
Causes, treatment, and outcome (mortality) of acute heart failurehard clinical
Acute heart failure in Africa is predominantly nonischemic (driven by hypertension) and affects middle-aged adults with high mortality, demonstrating a dire prognosis globally regardless of etiology.
In African patients, AHF has a predominantly nonischemic cause, most commonly hypertension. The condition occurs in middle-aged adults, equally in men and women, and is associated with high mortality. The outcome is similar to that observed in non-African AHF registries, suggesting that AHF has a dire prognosis globally, regardless of the cause.
