Article Synopsis
- - Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major cause of mortality globally, with a notable increase in developing countries, prompting a study of admissions related to CVDs at Rivers State University Teaching Hospital from 2021 to 2022.
- - The study observed that out of 1,540 total admissions, 751 (48.8%) were due to CVDs, primarily heart failure and cerebrovascular accidents, with a significant portion of deaths during this period linked to these conditions.
- - The findings highlight the urgent need for community-based preventive and management strategies to address the high rates of morbidity and mortality associated with heart failure and cerebrovascular accidents in the region.
Background: Systemic inflammatory markers, such as the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and high-sensitivity Creactive protein (hs-CRP), have been linked to cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure (HF), and increased mortality rates. This study aimed to assess NLR and hs-CRP levels in chronic HF patients and determine the relationship between these markers with HF severity.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 136 chronic HF patients at the University of Port-Harcourt Teaching Hospital.
Background: Women are a considerable part of the population and contribute to every facet of life with significant participation in all professions, however, despite such advancements by women, there is still a gender bias in all walks of life including the medical field.

Methodology: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted among 165 women medical doctors living in Rivers State, Nigeria.
