    Summary

    This study investigated chronic cor pulmonale in Iraq, finding it in 15.25% of cardiac cases. Chronic obstructive airway disease, often linked to smoking and infections, is the primary cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Chronic cor pulmonale is a significant cardiac condition.
    • Its incidence in Iraq was previously unquantified.
    • Understanding its prevalence and causes is crucial for public health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of chronic cor pulmonale in Iraq.
    • To identify the primary etiological factors contributing to this condition in the Iraqi population.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 1,102 cardiac cases admitted to Medical City Hospital over one year.
    • Categorization of patients based on diagnosis, with specific focus on chronic cor pulmonale.

    Main Results:

    • Chronic cor pulmonale accounted for 15.25% (168 patients) of all cardiac admissions.
    • Chronic obstructive airway disease was identified as the leading cause.
    • Smoking and chronic infections were implicated as significant contributing factors in disease development.

    Conclusions:

    • Chronic cor pulmonale represents a notable burden of cardiac disease in Iraq.
    • Chronic obstructive airway disease is the predominant underlying condition.
    • Public health strategies should address smoking cessation and management of respiratory infections to mitigate the incidence of chronic cor pulmonale.
