This literature review summarizes recommendations and challenges encountered when establishing cardiac surgery centers in developing countries and common heart diseases encountered abroad. Cardiac surgery is not widely available in most developing countries, and most patients have no choice but to live in morbid conditions. The ideal continuous treatment for these patients would be provided by a local, sustainable cardiac surgery center. A collaborative effort from international volunteers, nongovernmental organizations, local governments, and private benefactors is necessary to facilitate adequate cardiac care in developing countries.
这篇文献综述总结了在发展中国家建立心脏外科中心时遇到的建议和挑战，以及在国外遇到的常见心脏病。在大多数发展中国家，心脏外科手术并不普及，大多数患者别无选择，只能在病态中生活。为这些患者提供理想的持续治疗需要当地可持续的心脏外科中心。国际志愿者、非政府组织、地方政府和私人捐助者的共同努力对于在发展中国家提供充分的心脏护理至关重要。
