Heart Disease: A Statistical Comparison Between the US and Africa


Overview


Cardiomyopathy, a heart muscle disease, is rare globally but significantly impacts Africa, where it is a leading cause of heart failure. Experts have closely reviewed studies on cardiomyopathy in Africa, examining causes and types affecting the continent, which houses 10% of the world's population.

Key Findings


Cardiomyopathy is a comparatively seldom-seen condition worldwide, yet in Africa, it accounts for a significant portion of heart failure cases. Research indicates that 10% to 17% of cardiac issues identified in South African and Ugandan autopsies, and 17% to 48% of heart failure cases in various African regions, are due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM involves the enlargement of the heart.

In contrast, in the United States, DCM affects 4 to 8 out of every 100,000 individuals. The incidence across Africa remains uncertain due to a lack of comprehensive studies.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is notably prevalent in Africa, especially Nigeria. This condition, which can cause heart failure, emerges between the last month of pregnancy and five months postpartum. In the US, it occurs in 1 out of 15,000 deliveries, while in South Africa, the rate is 1 in 1,000.

Causes of DCM


According to researchers, several factors contribute to DCM in Africa, including untreated high blood pressure, infections, toxic substances, immune system reactions, nutritional deficiencies, and genetics.

Conclusion


Experts emphasize the need for further research to uncover the reasons behind Africa's high rates of cardiomyopathy, aiming to develop strategies to prevent or reduce its prevalence.
