Yet, most of these studies emphasize the epistemic “weight of empire” in ways that obscure the relational dynamics under which local bureaucrats domesticate imperial policy experiments at the margins of postcolonial cities. By taking the case of the Tact…

Background: AF concurrent with cardiomyopathy is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
