Uphando lukaGqirha waseSA Luzisa Ithemba Elitsha Kubaguli Bentliziyo
Uphando olwenziwe nguGqr Nene Mboweni-Kondlo, ugqirha-nzululwazi osebenza eJohannesburg, lunika ithemba elitsha kubantu abaphila nokusilela kwentliziyo.
Uphononongo lwakhe lujonge izinto ze-genetic, ze-kliniki nezebhayoloji ezikhawulezisa esi sifo, indlela esiphendula ngayo kunyango, kunye neziphumo zabaguli.
Injongo enkulu kukuphucula uxilongo lwangethuba, unyango oluhambelana nomntu, kunye nokufikelela kunyango olusindisa ubomi.
UGqr Mboweni-Kondlo une-PhD kwi-cardiovascular physiology evela eWits University.
Umsebenzi wakhe wagxila kwiziphumo ze-kliniki nezebhayokhemistri ze-atrial fibrillation (AF) kubaguli abane-heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) phakathi kwabantu base-sub-Saharan Africa.
Uthi, “Ukuba singabachaza ngcono abaguli bethu, sinokuchonga izinto ezibalulekileyo kwi-prognosis nakunyango kwimeko yethu.”
Iziphumo zibonise ukuba abaguli baseMzantsi Afrika banokuphuhlisa i-HFrEF ne-AF besebancinci xa kuthelekiswa namazwe anengeniso ephezulu.
Kwaye uphononongo olugqitywe ngo-2025 lwafumanisa ukuba omnye kwabahlanu abane-HFrEF wayenayo ne-AF.
Le ndibaniselwano ibonakale inxulunyaniswa nesifo esiqatha ngakumbi, umgangatho wobomi osezantsi, neziphumo ezimbi.
UGqr Mboweni-Kondlo wachaza ukuba ezi meko zimbini ziyonyusana: intliziyo ebuthathaka nenandisiweyo ikhuthaza i-AF, logama isingqi sentliziyo esikhawulezayo okanye esingaqhelekanga sinciphisa ngakumbi amandla okupompa.
Uphononongo lwakhe lwabonisa nokuba abo bane-HFrEF ne-AF babenembali yestrouku rhoqo, nto leyo ebonisa umngcipheko ophezulu.
Uphando luphinde lwagxininisa indima yoxinzelelo lwegazi, iswekile, ukutyeba, kunye nokungafikeleleki kakuhle kweenkonzo zempilo.
Uthi, “Ukulwa izifo zentliziyo kufuna ngaphezu kokunyanga kwisibhedlele esikhulu—kufuneka uthintelo, ukhathalelo olusisiseko, imfundo, uxilongo lwangethuba, kunye nononophelo oluqhubekayo.”
Amanyathelo alandelayo aquka izifundo ezinkulu zeendawo ezininzi eMzantsi Afrika, ukwandisa ukhathalelo lweengcali, kunye nokunyusa iinkonzo ezifana ne-catheter ablation, esele ifumaneka kodwa kancinci eCharlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital naseChris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital.
