Context: Heart failure (HF) is a common pathology requiring many types of treatments, including therapeutic education, which has demonstrated a major benefit in terms of reducing re-hospitalization and mortality from HF or all other causes. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of therapeutic education (TPE) in patients with heart failure. Methodology: This was a single-centre, interventional, non-randomized, before-and-after type study. It focused on hospitalized heart failure patients aged 18 and over. We evaluated the effect of TPE on therapeutic compliance, knowledge, practical attitudes, patient perceptions and quality of life. Results: Our study included 41 patients prior to therapeutic education: 17 men (41%) and 24 women (59%). The mean age was 54.7 ± 16.2 years. After the TPE sessions we evaluated 32 patients: The patients with good compliance increased from 75% to 90.63%, and patients with a low level of compliance (90.6%) decreased to 34.4%.

Introduction: Mechanical valve replacement in pediatric age is a dreaded but sometimes inevitable surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine the mortality of children with mechanical valve prostheses in the short, medium and long term. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective and descriptive study conducted at the CUOMO cardio-pediatric center at Teaching National Hospital of Fann between January 1 st , 2017 and December 31 st , 2021. We included, children whose age is less than or equal to 16 years of age and who have benefited from a mechanical valve replacement and with a follow-up period of more than 6 months post-operative in the CUOMO car-dio-pediatric center. Patients whose age at the time of surgery was over 16 years were excluded; patients who have benefited from bioprosthesis or valvular plastic surgery alone; as well as patients for whom a follow-up of more than 6 months was not found. Statistical analyses were carried out using the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) software version 18 to calculate averages and percentages. Results: We included 85 patients. The average age was 12.84 ± 2.52 years. The male gender predominated with a sex ratio of 1.65. Dyspnea was found in 96.47%

Two classes of rate controlling medications—beta blockers (BBs) and non- dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCBs)—are given to patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) with rapid ventricular response (RVR). Both are Class I recommendations from the American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC), and Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) for the management of AF with RVR. Multiple studies support the view that diltiazem is more effective than metoprolol, even though data from the AFFIRM trial suggests BBs are more frequently used. CCBs are generally avoided in AF with RVR patients who have concomitant heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) for concern of triggering decompensation. However, some recent studies indicate this idea may be unfounded. The aim of this article is to compare the efficacy of diltiazem and metoprolol for rate control in AF with RVR and examine the use of diltiazem in patients with both AF with RVR and HFrEF.

Childhood heart disease is a real public health problem. In our contexts, care remains a major challenge. Doppler echocardiography remains the essential examination for diagnosis. The objective of our study was to describe the different clinical indications for cardiac ultrasound in children and the main pediatric heart diseases at the Diourbel Heinrich Lübke Regional Hospital. This was a descriptive and analytical retrospective study spanning from 2020 to 2022; covering a series of 140 cases. The study was carried out using patient clinical observation sheets and consultation sheets. We identified 140 ultrasounds. The average age of patients was 35.96 months with extremes of 0.03 months and 192 months. The female sex was predominant, with an M/F sex ratio of 0.72. Ultrasound was systematically requested in 67.14% of the study population. The indications found were mainly: heart murmur, polymalformative syndrome, respiratory failure, bronchiolitis, cardiomegaly, suspicion of heart disease, cardiomegaly, pre-therapeutic and pre-operative assessment. A total of 71 cardiac abnormalities were found in 65 patients, i.e. a prevalence of 46.42%. Congenital heart disease was more frequent (found in 49 patients, a prevalence of 35%) and was dominated by the CIA. There was a female predominance in almost all heart diseases except in the case of endocarditis where codominance is found. Our study has made it possible, through echocardiography, to evaluate the indications for echocardiography in children, to determine the prevalence of heart disease in children and also to assess the relevance of requests for echocardiography.
儿童心脏病是一个真正的公共卫生问题。在我们的情况下,护理仍然是一项重大挑战。多普勒超声心动图仍然是诊断的基本检查。本研究的目的是描述Diourbel Heinrich l bke地区医院儿童心脏超声的不同临床适应症和主要儿科心脏病。这是一项描述性和分析性回顾性研究,时间跨度为2020年至2022年;涵盖一系列140宗个案。本研究采用患者临床观察表和会诊表进行。我们发现了140个超声波。患者平均年龄35.96个月,极值0.03个月,极值192个月。雌性为优势,雌雄性别比为0.72。67.14%的研究人群系统地要求超声检查。发现的适应症主要有:心脏杂音、多畸形综合征、呼吸衰竭、细支气管炎、心脏肿大、怀疑心脏病、心脏肿大、治疗前及术前评价。65例患者共发现71例心脏异常,患病率为46.42%。先天性心脏病更为常见(发现49例患者,患病率为35%),并以中央情报局为主。除了心内膜炎外,几乎所有的心脏病都有女性优势,心内膜炎是共显性的。我们的研究使得通过超声心动图评估儿童超声心动图的适应症、确定儿童心脏病的患病率以及评估超声心动图请求的相关性成为可能。
