Angiographic Characteristics of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure: A Sub-Saharan Referral Center Experience
Severe CAD is common among HF patients in Somalia and is strongly associated with diabetes and smoking. Systematic ischemic evaluation and aggressive risk factor control should be prioritized to improve outcomes. This study provides one of the first angiographic datasets from the region, offering evidence to guide screening, optimize scarce diagnostic resources, and inform future multicenter research.
