“…The PPCM was in second place in this observational study. The same observation was also reported in Tombouctou by Traoré et al [14]. This shows that this pathology occupies a larger share in the etiologies of heart failure in sub-Saharan Africa, in black women with an unfavourable socio-economic level, as attested by Paule et al [6].…”

“…The role of traditional therapists plays a significant role, an observation also made by some authors [4]. The main etiologies were dominated by hypertensive heart disease, this etiology was widely found in several [3] [4] [11] [13] [14]. The THESUS-HF study carried out in nine sub-Saharan countries also highlighted the supremacy of hypertensive heart disease in our countries [19].…”

“…In this series, our patients were relatively young with a mean age of 47.30 ± 20 years. The same is true of Tombouctou and Kati [5] [14]. Several African studies reported average ages between 54 -70 years [7] [11] [15] [16].…”

Introduction: Heart failure is a major public health pandemic, particularly in Africa, where its prevalence continues to increase. In northern Mali, few data exist, hence the interest of this study with the objective of studying the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of Heart failure at the regional hospital of Gao. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study that took place from July 2022 to June 2023 in the medical department at Gao Hospital. Results: The hospital prevalence of heart failure was 44.1%. The mean age was 47.30 ± 20 years (range: 16-88). Hypertension was the most common with 46.1%, followed by a sedentary lifestyle, and diabetes with 18.2% and 8.3% respectively; NYHA stage III-IV dyspnea was found in 83.9%. Reduced EF heart failure was present in 110 patients (76.9%), seventeen cases with moderately reduced EF (11.9%) and sixteen patients had preserved EF (11.2%). Global heart failure was the dominant (91.6%). The main etiologies of heart failure were dominated by hypertensive heart disease in 46 patients (32.2%), followed by postpartum cardiomyopathy with 43 cases (30.1%), primary dilated cardiomyopathy in 18 patients (12.6%), ischemic heart disease in 16 patients with 11.2%. Seven cases of valvular heart disease, or 4.9%. The evolution was favorable under treatment in 104 patients or 72.7%. In-hospital mortality was 14.7%. Conclusion: Heart failure is a common condition in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in our country.
