Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are undergoing an epidemiological transition. With an improvement in socioeconomic conditions and an aging population, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), like cardiac arrhythmias, are expected to increase in these countries. However, there are limited studies on the epidemiology and management of cardiac arrhythmias in LMICs. This review will highlight the unique challenges and opportunities that these countries face when managing cardiac arrhythmias.
许多低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)正在经历流行病学转变。随着社会经济条件的改善和人口老龄化,像心律失常这样的心血管疾病(CVDs)预计在这些国家会增加。然而,关于低收入和中等收入国家心律失常的流行病学和管理的研究有限。本综述将强调这些国家在管理心律失常时面临的独特挑战和机遇。
