OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine the spectrum of heart diseases among adult patients at the Bamenda Regional Hospital in the North West Region of Cameroon. This is a chart review of echocardiographic records.
RESULTS
In total, 673 records were included in our study, of which 506 had a definite heart disease. Of the 506, 93 had mixed cardiopathies. Their ages ranged from 18 to 105 years with a median age of 64.0 (Interquartile range = 47-75) years. Females accounted for a greater proportion (55.3%) of the study population. The most common echocardiographic diagnoses were hypertensive heart disease (41.1%), valvular heart disease (22.3%) and cardiomyopathies (11.4%). The prevalence of heart failure was 17.5%, with hypertensive heart disease being the leading cause.
目的
我们试图确定喀麦隆西北地区巴门达地区医院成年患者的心脏病谱。这是一项对超声心动图记录的图表回顾研究。
结果
我们的研究共纳入673份记录，其中506份有明确的心脏病。在这506份中，93份有混合性心脏病。他们的年龄从18岁到105岁不等，中位年龄为64.0岁（四分位间距=47 - 75岁）。女性占研究人群的比例更大（55.3%）。最常见的超声心动图诊断为高血压性心脏病（41.1%）、瓣膜性心脏病（22.3%）和心肌病（11.4%）。心力衰竭的患病率为17.5%，高血压性心脏病是主要原因。
