  • Implementation and evaluation of a pragmatic community streptococcal treatment programme to improve rheumatic heart disease primary prevention in Uganda

    Open AccessEmma Ndagire, Joselyn Rwebembera et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    INTRODUCTION: reatment Program (RESET)) to determine the effect of an integrated group A streptococcal (GAS) education and treatment programme on the echocardiographic burden of RHD among children aged 5-15 years in Uganda. METHODS: We implemented our interventions within the primary healthcare system of Tororo district, Eastern Uganda, over 2 years. The primary outcome was a reduction in RHD prevalence. Secondary outcomes included improved provi…

  • Integrating secondary prevention of rheumatic heart disease into the primary healthcare system in Northern Uganda

    Open AccessNeema W Minja, Jafesi Pulle et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: Over 46 million people are living with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) globally, resulting in 380 000 premature deaths each year. Effective RHD prevention strategies are known but their implementation in low-resource settings has lagged. This study evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating secondary antibiotic prophylaxis into primary health centres to improve access and adherence to RHD care. METHODS: We conducted a …

  • Tertiary prevention and treatment of rheumatic heart disease

    Open AccessDominique Vervoort, Christopher Sabo Yilgwan et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Although entirely preventable, rheumatic heart disease (RHD), a disease of poverty and social disadvantage resulting in high morbidity and mortality, remains an ever-present burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and rural, remote, marginalised and disenfranchised populations within high-income countries. In late 2021, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a workshop to explore the current state of science, to i…

  • Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019

    Open AccessGregory A Roth, George A Mensah et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American College…2020

    Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), principally ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, are the leading cause of global mortality and a major contributor to disability. This paper reviews the magnitude of total CVD burden, including 13 underlying causes of cardiovascular death and 9 related risk factors, using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019. GBD, an ongoing multinational collaboration to provide comparable and consisten…

  • Improving the accuracy of heart failure diagnosis in low-resource settings through task sharing and decentralization

    Open AccessAlyssa DeWyer, Amy Scheel et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    Background: Task sharing of TTE may improve capacity for heart failure diagnosis and management in patients in remote, low-resource settings but the impact on diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes has not been studied.Objectives: Determine feasibility and impact of non-expert training in transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to improve the diagnosis and outcomes of patients with suspected heart failure in Uganda.Methods: This two-part study exa…
