| Summary | Contemporary studies from South Africa and Nigeria have built on historical reports to demonstrate that the etiology and indeed case profile of acute HF (i.e. more women and younger individuals affected in the prime of their life) is different from high-income countries. As such, HF is now responsible for 7-10% of medical admissions in the region. These are entirely based on studies on acute HF and few on chronic HF. The nexus between endemic infections such as tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS and other non-communicable or non-infectious risk factors and HF in Africa is scarcely documented. This study will assess the long-term outcomes, risk factors, clinical phenotypes, and genomics of HF in Ibadan, Nigeria, estimate catastrophic healthcare cost associated with CHF and how it affects eviden |
