“…Our study shared similarities with previous Sudanese studies with regard to the mean age of HF patients, and that diabetes and hypertension were the main comorbid disease in HF [17,18]. On the other hands, 77% of patients were on Beta blockers, and 55.5% on ARBs or ACEIs this is lower than what had been reported [19], this might be due to the source of information in this study primarily depending on patients.…”

Background: Selfcare is a vital component of heart failure management that is known to improve the outcomes. However, little is known about the status of self-care behaviors among patients with heart failure in Sudan. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the self-care behaviors among Sudanese patients with heart failure at a tertiary hospital in Sudan. Methods: A cross-sectional single-institutional study was conducted across three-month period in 2021. A total of 200 heart failure patients were enrolled, and data was collected through patients’ interview. Descriptive and binary logistic regression analyses were processed to check the effect of different factors on the patients’ adherence levels. Results: Out of 200 heart failure patients, 53.5% were females, and the mean age of patients was 60 (± 13.7 SD) years. Among them, only 4.5% of heart failure patients reported adequate adherence to their self-care recommendations and the mean total score was 42.6 (± SD15.5). Adherence to self-care recommendations wasn’t significantly associated with age, gender, marital status, education level, and comorbidity. Conclusion: In this study, the overall adherence to self-care behavior was found to be extremely low among Sudanese heart failure patients, and selectively adherence to prescribed medications was good. These outcomes put light on a major opportunity for further prospective follow–up studies, which have an intervention approach for each self–care recommendation to improve the heart failure situation in Sudan.

“…However, limited numbers of hospitalbased studies had been published. [4][5][6][7] For patients with HFrEF, defined by the ejection fraction (EF) ≤40%, morbidity, and mortality are reduced with target doses of key therapeutic medications such as: 1) Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), 2) Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), 3) Angiotensin receptor-Neprilysin inhibitors (ARNi), 4) beta blockers (BBs), and 5) Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA). According to guidelines, these medications should be initiated and up-titrated every two weeks to the target or maximal tolerated doses to achieve optimal outcomes.…”

“…23 A recent study conducted from Sudan found that the prevalence of HFpEF was 15%. 24 Another study reported from Ethiopia determined that HFis the third most common reason for admission to the medical wards of Saint Paul Medical College Hospital (SPMCH), accounting for 16% of all admissions. 25 In developed countries, the prevalence of HFpEF is increasing over time.…”

Heart failure (HF) is a heterogeneous syndrome and growing global epidemic estimated to affect over 26-million people worldwide. The aim of this study is to investigate baseline characteristics, risk factors, and etiology of HF among patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Somalia. Methods: Between May and October 2021, data on epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, and etiology of HF among patients admitted to an emergency unit of a teaching hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 155 patients were disgnosed with HF, their mean age was 65.9 ± 14 years, 46.5% (n = 72) were aged 65 years or older, and 58.7% (n=91) were female. The prevalence of HF was 3.4% (n = 155); 47.7% (n = 74) had HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), 34.9% HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), and 17.4% HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF). More females than males had HFrEF and HFmrEF (77.8% vs 59.3%, p < 0.01). In contrast, HFpEF was more frequent in males (55.4% vs 44.6%, p < 0.01). Regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors, patients with HFpEF had advanced age (≥65), were male, and had co-morbid hypertensive heart disease (HHD) and thyroid disease. On the other hand, patients with HFrEF were more in older age (50-64 years), were women, and frequently had ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus compared to patients with HFpEF and HFmrEF. Among participants with HFpEF, HHD (58.1%) was the most common etiologies of HF, whereas in HFrEF, ischemic heart disease (38.9%) was prominent. Conclusion: HF in Somalia, different risk factors and etiologies were found in three groups of HF patients. Hypertension plays a predominant role both in its risk factors and the underlying cause of HF. We recommend implementation of specialized cardiac centers for the adult patients with cardiovascular diseases and promotion of the awareness of cardiovascular risk factors.
