Abstract | While there has been a global decrease in rates of heart failure (HF) prevalence between 1990 and 2019, the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) is experiencing an increase. In 2019, approximately 1,229,766 individuals lived with moderate to severe HF in the EMR. Despite the growth in the utilization of advanced heart failure (AHF) therapies in the EMR in the past two decades, current volumes are yet to meet the growing AHF burden in the region. Heart Transplantation (HT) volumes in EMR have grown from 9 in the year 2000 to 179 HTs in 2019. However, only a few centers provide the full spectrum of AHF therapies, including durable mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and HT. Published data on the utilization of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) in the EMR are scarce. Notably, patients undergoing LVAD implantation in the EMR are on average, 13 years younger, and have a higher likelihood of presenting with critical cardiogenic shock, as compared to their counterparts in the Western world. Furthermore, AHF care in the region is hampered by the paucity of multidisciplinary HF programs, inherent costs of AHF therapies, limited access to short and long-term MCS, organ shortage, and lack of public awareness and acceptance of AHF therapeutics. All stakeholders in the EMR should work together to strategize tackling the challenging AHF burden in the region. |
