Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a significant health issue in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Burkina Faso, where a study observed that about 17.62% of cardiac cases presented with acute HF.
- The study followed 298 patients, with a majority suffering from de novo HF, highlighting that most patients live in rural areas and are primarily affected by hypertensive heart disease.
- The results showed a high mortality rate of 31% and indicated that the condition commonly affects younger individuals, predominantly from non-ischemic causes.
