Abstract

Background Cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure (HF), are leading causes of death and disability in India. However, most studies in India only include urban populations or rural regions with improved access and may not represent the poorest patients or regions. We studied the epidemiology of HF patients admitted to a secondary care hospital in rural Chhattisgarh, India. Methods We did a retrospective chart review of patients hospitalized with HF in 2018 to obtain their demographic data and risk factors for developing HF. We reviewed echocardio-grams to assign patients to their most probable HF category. Results We studied 88 HF patients with a mean age of 42 years including 55 (62.5%) women. The most common categories of HF were cardiomyopathy (36.8%), rheumatic heart disease (RHD; 25.3%) and right heart failure (RHF; 18.4%). Prior tuberculosis was more prevalent in patients with RHF compared with other types of HF (43.8% v. 13.9%). Conclusions HF patients in this study from rural central India were young and predominantly women. Cardiomyopathy, RHD and RHF due to past tuberculosis were common causes of HF in this population. Further studies are needed to expand upon these single centre findings to better understand the risk factors and outcomes of HF among the rural poor.
