The Heart of Africa: Clinical Profile of an Evolving Burden of Heart Disease in Africa
While many high-income countries observe a relative decline in the population impact of heart disease and deal with the problem of an older patient population who readily survive earlier non-fatal encounters with the condition, Africa contends with a typically younger population with frequently advanced and often fatal heart disease. While high-income countries exclusively dealwith non-communicable forms of heart disease, Africa contends with both communicable and non-communicable forms of heart disease.

- Presents salient research uncovering the evolving burden of communicable and non-communicable forms of heart disease,
- Includes content on maternal heart disease, infant and childhood heart disease, risk and prevention, heart failure and other common forms of heart disease in rural and urban communities in Africa.
