Being an extremely high mortality rate condition, cardiac arrest cases have rightfully been evaluated via various studies and scoring factors for effective resuscitative practices and neurological outcomes postresuscitation. This narrative review aims to explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting neurological outcomes postcardiac resuscitation. The methodology involved a detailed review of all relevant recent studies of AI, different machine learning algorithms, prediction tools, and assessing their benefit in predicting neurological outcomes in postcardiac resuscitation cases as compared to more traditional prognostic scoring systems and tools.

Objective: To understand the burden of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) among children living in low-income countries who present to the hospital with febrile illness and to determine the role of handheld echocardiography (HHE) in uncovering subclinical carditis as a major manifestation of ARF.
Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study carried at the Pediatric Hospital in Al Obeid, North Kordofan, Sudan, from September 2022 to January 2023 and including febrile children 3 through 18 years of age with or without clinical features of ARF and without another cause for their fever (not excluding malaria). History, examination, blood investigations, and HHE were done.

The global of paediatric and congenital heart disease (PCHD) is substantial. We propose a novel public health framework with recommendations for developing effective and safe PCHD services in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This framework was created by the Global Initiative for Children's Surgery Cardiac Surgery working group in collaboration with a group of international rexperts in providing paediatric and congenital cardiac care to patients with CHD and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in LMICs.

Pediatric cardiology (PC) is a rapidly advancing specialty addressing a large population of children as well as adults with congenital heart disease. It requires huge technical and financial resources; therefore, establishing, maintaining, and developing such services in limited resource settings are challenging. A PC program that includes clinical aspects, echocardiography, diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization and cardiac surgery, and rheumatic heart disease control was established in Sudan in 2004.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a completely preventable, life-threatening complication of group A streptococcal pharyngitis and the commonest cause of acquired heart disease in children and young adults in low- and middle-income countries. Conventional control measures are faced with many obstacles including the difficulty of early diagnosis of bacterial pharyngitis and acute rheumatic fever (ARF) leading to late presentation with established RHD which is not curable. Recent evidence confirmed the role of echocardiography screening of asymptomatic children in the early detection of 'latent' RHD.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD), a preventable complication of group A beta-haemolytic streptococcal infection, is highly prevalent in Sudan. Echocardiographic (echo) screening has an established role in disease surveillance. This study aims to measure the echo prevalence of RHD using handheld echo (HHE) in West and North Darfur and Kassala states and initiate control programs.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a preventable non-communicable condition that disproportionately affects the world's poorest and most vulnerable. The World Heart Federation Roadmap for improved RHD control is a resource designed to help a variety of stakeholders raise the profile of RHD nationally and globally, and provide a framework to guide and support the strengthening of national, regional and global RHD control efforts. The Roadmap identifies the barriers that limit access to and uptake of proven interventions for the prevention and control of RHD.
