Screening for Dyslipidemia Among Patients Admitted With Acute Coronary Syndrome at the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute, Tanzania: A Retrospective Cohort Study

The findings of this study have mirrored many irregularities in the current practice of dyslipidemia screening among patients with ACS admitted to JKCI. This study also highlighted the local nonadherence to national and international recommended guidelines, which, in turn, undermines secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. Further larger multicentered studies are recommended to assess the scope of the problem to reduce the burden and risk of future events.
