Heart failure management from African perspective: Consensus statement on urgent need for action
Abstract
Purpose: The primary aim of this consensus is to identify strategies for diagnosing, treating, and managing heart failure in Africa.
Methods: The development of involved a combination of literature review, expert consultations, and consensus-building workshops. A panel of experts was convened from various African countries to capture geographical diversity. Multiple discussions were held with focus on challenges in diagnosing heart failure with limited resources.
Results: Following a series of discussions, we prepared a manuscript that underwent peer review to validate its credibility and scientific rigor. This methodological approach demonstrates a commitment to evidence-based practice while also recognizing the need for solutions adapted to local contexts, with the goal of improving heart failure outcomes among Africa's diverse population.
Conclusion: In Africa, heart failure diagnosis often relies on echocardiography due to scarce BNP testing. Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy is often unaffordable, with medication access being a key challenge. Co-morbidities frequently complicate patient management.
