Introduction: Worldwide, non-communicable diseases (N.C.D.s) are the leading cause of death, accounting for 73.4% of all deaths, while communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional (CMNN) causes accounted for 18•6% and injuries 8•0%. In high-income Western countries, N.C.D.s are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality and account for 90% of all deaths, with the leading N.C.D.s being CVDs. N.C.D.s are the second most common cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa (S.S.A.), accounting for 2.6 million deaths, equivalent to about 35% of all deaths, after a composite of communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (CMNNDs). In the S.S.A., cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most frequent causes of N.C.D. deaths. Due to the increasing burden of N.C.D.s globally, the 2011 U.N. High-Level Meeting made a political declaration aimed at achieving the goal of a 25% reduction in premature N.C.D. mortality by 2025 (the 25 by 25 goal).
Objective: This study aimed to determine the pattern of heart disease among newly enrolled cardiac patients in the Jimma University Specialized Hospital cardiac clinic from September 14-2020, to September 14, 2022, G.C.
Method: A cross-sectional retrospective study was carried out on 533 newly enrolled cardiac patients at Jimma University Specialized Hospital’s cardiac clinic. The data was gathered using a systematic record review process and analyzed with SPSS version 24.
Result: Of the 533 newly recruited cardiac patients in the Jimma University Specialized Hospital cardiac clinic, 301 (56.5%) are men and 232 (43.5%) are women. The average age of the patients at enrollment was 47.41 years. The top three diseases are hypertensive heart disease 127 (23.8%), rheumatic heart disease 17 (22.0%), and ischemic heart disease 110 (20.6%). The mitral valve was the most usually involved value in patients with Rheumatic Heart Disease (71.4%). Hypertension was identified as a risk factor in 51.4% of patients with ischemic heart disease. The most prevalent type of congenital heart disease is mitral valve prolapse (M.V.P.). All of the patients with Thyro-cardiac disease were female.
Conclusion: hypertensive and cardiomyopathy heart diseases accounted for more than three-quarters of cardiac diseases in the study population. This study highlighted the need for further research to determine the burden of a community setting.
