Heart failure is emerging as one of Kenya's biggest cardiovascular health challenges, fuelled by rising cases of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and other lifestyle-related risk factors.
Cardiologists have warned that unless the country intensifies public education on heart diseases and the risk factors, Kenyans would continue to grapple with rising cases and the growing health burden.
The experts spoke at a Mombasa hotel during the Kenya Cardiac Society (KCS) 43rd annual scientific congress.
