TL;DR: Rheumatic heart disease patients were young, predominantly female, and had high prevalence of major cardiovascular complications, and there is suboptimal utilization of secondary antibiotic prophylaxis, oral anti-coagulation, and contraception, and variations in the use of percutaneous and surgical interventions by country income level.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the 2-year follow-up of individuals with rheumatic heart disease from 14 low and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia, and report that patients from low and lower-middle income countries had a poorer prognosis associated with advanced disease and low education.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dominique Blommaert,Manuel Gonzalez,Joseph Mucumbitsi,Olivier Gurné,Patrick Evrard,Michel Buche,Yves Louagie,Philippe Eucher,Jacques Jamart,Etienne Installé,Luc De Roy +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that continuous atrial pacing with an algorithm for dynamic overdrive reduces significantly incidence of AF the second day after CABG surgery, particularly in patients with preserved left ventricular function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thierry Sluysmans,B Neven,Jean Rubay,Jp. Lintermans,Caroline Ovaert,Joseph Mucumbitsi,P. Shango,M. Stijns,André Vliers +8 more
TL;DR: Pulmonary valve dilatation in infants with tetralogy of Fallot is a relatively safe procedure and appears to produce adequate palliation in most patients, resulting in a mean gain of 2 SD for those structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simplified echocardiographic strategy for heart failure diagnosis and management within an integrated noncommunicable disease clinic at district hospital level for sub-saharan africa
