Abstract: In African patients, AHF has a predominantly nonischemic cause, most commonly hypertension. The condition occurs in middle-aged adults, equally in men and women, and is associated with high mortality. The outcome is similar to that observed in non-African AHF registries, suggesting that AHF has a dire prognosis globally, regardless of the cause.

“…In part due to the ageing of the population and more effective treatment of chronic heart failure (HF), its prevalence is expected to increase by 25% over the next 20 years 3 and the problem has expanded worldwide 4, 5. Patients hospitalized for HF have a 40–50% rate of HF exacerbation, of which 10–15% is in‐hospital worsening heart failure (WHF)6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 30–40% is rehospitalization, within the first 6 months after discharge as well as a 10–15% mortality rate 11.…”

“…Heart failure (HF) is a global public health problem affecting millions worldwide 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. In the USA, the prevalence is 5.7 million and there are 670 000 new cases per year, while there are another 15 million people living with HF in Europe 13, 14, 15.…”

“…In addition, there are >1 million admissions for HF annually in both the USA and Europe, accounting for the vast majority spent each year on HF‐related care 13, 14, 16. However, the socio‐economic burden of HF is especially worrisome in the low‐ and middle‐income regions of Africa, South America, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, where the prevalence of HF is rising rapidly and the clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes vary substantially 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23…”
