Worsening of the Cardiovascular Profile in a Developing Country
Conclusions The overall prevalence of CVD risk factors in this urban population is higher than reported in the 2010 World Health Organization Stepwise Approach to Surveillance report on the Lebanese population, indicating that the urban population in the capital carries a higher burden of CVD risk. In addition, sex and age difference rates of CVD risk factors highlight the need for tailored public health measures to tackle the sex- and age-based CVD risk factors. (Source: Global Heart)

National Prevalence of Self-Reported Coronary Heart Disease and Chronic Stable Angina Pectoris
Conclusions We report concerning prevalence of self-reported CHD and chronic stable angina pectoris in the adult population of Iran. The constellation of raised systolic and diastolic blood pressures was significantly predictive of the presence of self-reported CHD. (Source: Global Heart)

Survival After MI in a Community Cohort Study
Conclusions NSTEMI confers a significantly higher mortality hazard beyond what can be attributed to comorbid conditions. More consistent and effective strategies are needed to reduce mortality in NSTEMI amid comorbid conditions. (Source: Global Heart)

The World Heart Federation Roadmap for Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions AF affects millions of people worldwide and, left untreated, increases the risk and severity of stroke and heart failure. Although guidelines for the detection, diagnosis, and management of AF exist, there are gaps in implementation of these guidelines globally, and in particular in LMICs. This Roadmap identifies some potential solutions that may improve AF outcomes in LMICs but require further evaluation in these settings. (Source: Global Heart)
