Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are increasing worldwide with the greatest burden in low-income countries where there is a gradual epidemiologic transition from infectious diseases to non-communicable diseases. There is a paucity of data on CVDs in our setting. This study aims to describe the epidemiology, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) in the Cameroonian cardiology setting to highlight the current state of practice to guide efficient epidemiological interventions. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients hospitalized in two cardiology units of referral hospitals in the city of Yaoundé between 2010 and 2019 (10 years). Results: Of the 2756 records retrieved, 47 (1.7%) had CCS according to the 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines. The mean age was 58 ± 12 years and 63.8% were men. The most common cardiovascular risk factors were hypertension (78.7%), overweight or obesity (84.9%), dyslipidemias (80.9%), smoking (68.1%), and diabetes (67.7%). Chest pain on exertion (74.5%) and exertional dyspnea (70.2%) were the main symptoms. Repolarization disorders (83%) were the most frequent ECG signs. Sequelae of necrosis sequelae were found on ECG in 34% of cases and rhythm disorders in 21.3%. The therapeutic modalities were essentially anti-platelet (95.7%), statins (91.5%), beta-blockers (89.4%), and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (70.2%). Interventional treatments were rarely performed (2.1%). Conclusion: Although chronic coronary syndromes seem uncommon in cardiology hospitalization in Cameroon, public health policies must work to improve the current state of care particularly interventional care.
