“… 27 , 28 In particular, such composite screening protocols may improve the sensitivity of individual screening tools with minimal additional time or resource burdens and can be performed by trained nonspecialist health workers with favourable results. 29 , 30 Investing in screening programmes may reveal unrecognized cases, which not only provides an opportunity to treat more children with PCHD but may also motivate further investments into PCHD care. 27 However, it is important to recognize that the effectiveness of PCHD screening programmes heavily relies on downstream health care capacity, such as the availability of specialized care to treat the identified patients with PCHD.…”

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, costing the lives of 18 million people annually, with up to one-third being attributable to cardiac surgical conditions. Approximately 6 billion people do not have access to safe, timely, and affordable cardiac surgery, predominantly affecting populations living in low-middle income countries. Cardiac surgical care is costly, resulting in few centers in variable-resource contexts operating continuously or with the resources observed in higher-resource environments. As a result, innovations may be formally developed or informally adopted to bypass resource constraints and ensure care delivery. Innovations have been observed across the cardiac surgical care continuum and across settings, potentially benefiting both high-income countries, where growing health care costs are becoming unsustainable, and low- and middle-income countries, where competing health agendas may limit investments into cardiac surgery. This narrative review attempts to address the costs associated with cardiac surgery, placing an emphasis on frugal innovations in the perioperative and postoperative care spectrum.
