Spectrum of cardiovascular diseases among Ethiopian patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized University Teaching Hospital, Addis Ababa.
Cardiovascular disorders vary throughout the world in type and distribution especially between the developed and the developing countries. Data on spectrum of cardiovascular diseases in Ethiopia is scarce. ⋯ While valvular heart disease is the commonest cardiovascular disorder in Ethiopian patients at the largest public hospital of the country, ischemic heart disease has dramatically increased over the years. It is high-time that effective population-based, health promotive strategies for primary prevention as well as secondary measures for the established cardiovascular disorders and risk factors are in place.
