Actual (reported)The global burden and threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have become a major health challenge that undermines social and economic development throughout the world. Cardiovascular disease including acute coronary syndromes (ACS) currently accounts for 17.9 million deaths a year. Low and middle-income countries such as those in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have undergone a rapid epidemiological transition over the last few decades and now have a burden of disease increasingly dominated by NCDs. The global burden of disease report for 2017 revealed a 71.4% increase in cardiovascular disease in SSA, predicting a large increase in mortality. Unfortunately, reliable population-level data regarding the incidence, prevalence and demographics of ACS in SSA are limited. The investigators propose to set up and conduct a multi-centre, prospective, observational registry to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, presentation, management and outcomes of patients admitted with ACS in Cape Town and the Garden Route Health District, Western Cape Province, South Africa. The registry is designed to shed insight on the current burden and impact of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the Western Cape.
