Tackling acute coronary syndrome in low-income and middle-income countries
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, accounting for approximately one-third of all deaths globally.1 While popular belief presumes that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) afflict mostly high-income populations, the evidence tells a very different story. Nearly 80% of NCD deaths occur in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Net atrioventricular compliance is an independent predictor of cardiovascular death in mitral stenosis
Objectives Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) is a progressive disease, and risk of death may persist despite relief of the obstruction. Net atrioventricular compliance (C ) modulates the overall haemodynamic burden of the MS and may be useful in predicting cardiovascular death after percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV). Methods A total of 427 patients (mean age 50±16 years, 84% female) with severe MS undergoing PMV were enrolled.
