Implementation and evaluation of a pragmatic community streptococcal treatment programme to improve rheumatic heart disease primary prevention in Uganda
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
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 …
Community co-design of contextually relevant rheumatic heart disease primary prevention
INTRODUCTION: Primary prevention of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is aimed at timely diagnosis and treatment of superficial Group A Streptococcal infections, most commonly Strep sore throat. However, uptake and delivery of primary prevention for RHD-endemic regions has room for improvement. Community co-design is an important aspect of intervention development to increase sustainability and reach. METHODS: Group-level assessment (GLA) sessions we…
Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2023 Update
BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest da…

Research priorities for the secondary prevention and management of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease
Secondary prevention of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) involves continuous antimicrobial prophylaxis among affected individuals and is recognised as a cornerstone of public health programmes that address these conditions. However, several important scientific issues around the secondary prevention paradigm remain unresolved. This report details research priorities for secondary prevention that were developed as part…
Research opportunities for the primary prevention and management of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease
Primary prevention of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) encompasses the timely diagnosis and adequate treatment of the superficial group A Streptococcus (GAS) infections pharyngitis and impetigo. GAS is the only known inciting agent in the pathophysiology of the disease. However, sufficient evidence indicates that the uptake and delivery of primary prevention approaches in RHD-endemic regions are significantly suboptim…
Research priorities for the primordial prevention of acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease by modifying the social determinants of health
The social determinants of health (SDH), such as access to income, education, housing and healthcare, strongly shape the occurrence of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) at the household, community and national levels. The SDH are systemic factors that privilege some more than others and result in poverty and inequitable access to resources to support health and well-being. Primordial prevention is the modification of S…
Recommendations for developing effective and safe paediatric and congenital heart disease services in low-income and middle-income countries
The global burden of paediatric and congenital heart disease (PCHD) is substantial. We propose a novel public health framework with recommendations for developing effective and safe PCHD services in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This framework was created by the Global Initiative for Children’s Surgery Cardiac Surgery working group in collaboration with a group of international rexperts in providing paediatric and congenital car…
Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2022 Update
BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health.

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