Introduction: In-hospital mortality is a critical indicator of healthcare quality, although most hospital deaths result from unavoidable morbid processes.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine cardiovascular mortality in working-age patients by analysing epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical characteristics and identifying the key etiological factors associated with mortality.
Methodology: A descriptive and analytical retrospective study was conducted from September 2019 to August 2022 at the General Hospital Idrissa POUYE in Dakar.
Article Synopsis
- Hydatidosis is a rare parasitic infection caused by larvae in humans, with pericardial localization being particularly uncommon and risky due to potential rupture.
- A case study details a 65-year-old patient who experienced limb edema and heart failure, leading to the discovery of a large fluid-filled mass in the pericardium via echocardiography and computed tomography.
- Despite the diagnosis of an aged hydatid cyst and negative hydatid serology, the patient refused surgery and was treated with albendazole and diuretics, ultimately resulting in a fatal outcome after two months.
Background: Cardiac pacing is a growing activity in Sub-Saharan Africa. There is little data on the characteristics of this interventional treatment in our regions. The goal was to evaluate the results of cardiac pacing in a referral service in sub-Saharan Africa.
