Medical Research Breakthroughs and Heart failure
The heart of Africa: The Heart of Soweto Study, was performed at the Cardiovascular
Research Unit, Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, University of the
Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, and Baker Heart Research
Institute, Melbourne, Australia, to study the increasing incidence of
heart disease as well as some of its associated risk factors in
African people.
The study focused on the clinical range of disorders related to
CVD in patients presenting for the first time to a cardiology unit in
Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in one year. Data was recorded for
4,162 patients with confirmed CVD, 1,593 of whom were newly diagnosed
and 2,569 of whom were previously diagnosed and under treatment. Upon
examination it was found that, of the newly diagnosed study
population, 85% (1,359) were black Africans and 59% (939) were women.
In the same population, women had an average age of 53 years, while men
were older with a mean of 55 years. Approximately 25% of the patients
were younger than 40 years old. The most common primary diagnosis was
heart failure, and this was present in 44% of the patients. Compared to
the rest of the population, black Africans were 46% more likely to be
diagnosed with heart failure, but only 10% as likely to be diagnosed
with coronary artery disease. In general, the presence of CVD risk
factors was very high: 56% of the patients had hypertension or high
blood pressure; 44% of the patients with hypertension were obese. 59%
(933) newly diagnosed patients showed several risk factors, while only
8% (209) of this population showed no identifiable risk factors.
This study, will have important implications on actions taken to
prevent and treat heart disease, not just in Soweto, but also for other
urban communities in Africa that are presently experiencing similar
epidemiological changes in their disease profiles.
