A leading interventional cardiologist, Dr. Yemi Johnson of First Cardiology Consultants, has raised concerns over the growing burden of heart disease among adults in Nigeria, identifying cardiovascular conditions as a major cause of death in the country.
Johnson said heart disease encompasses a range of serious conditions, including heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases, with high blood pressure emerging as one of the biggest underlying risk factors.
