Article Synopsis
- Data on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Africa is insufficient, particularly regarding the increasing cases of premature ACS, highlighting the need for an epidemiological assessment to identify risk factors and improve management practices.
- The European Atherosclerosis Society initiated the Lipid Registry of Africa (EAS-LIPRA) to create a standardized registry that collects and analyzes data on premature ACS across multiple African countries.
- EAS-LIPRA aims to enhance understanding of ACS by stratifying data based on income levels and urban/rural residence, using valid statistical methods to compare demographics and management trends, potentially serving as a model for similar initiatives in other developing regions.
