Materials And Methods: Prospective study including consecutively patients who underwent pacemaker implantation since June 2011.

[Neurological complications of infective endocarditis in Burkina Faso. Clinical features, management and evolutionary profile].

Introduction: Neurological complications are the most frequent extracardiac complications of infective endocarditis (IE). This study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical and paraclinical aspects, and outcome of neurological complications of infective endocarditis in three hospitals in the city of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso.

Patients And Method: From 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2012, we included all patients suffering from IE and selected those in whom a neurological complication was objectified.

Isolated aortic valvular and pulmonary involvement during essential eosinophilia.

Endomyocardial fibrosis is the most classic and the most known complication of prolonged hypereosinophilic syndrome, whatever the cause. In Burkina Faso, this complication is most frequently encountered in idiopathic form of the syndrome. It commonly involves the apex of the ventricles with possible involvement of atrioventricular valves.

[Severe pulmonary embolism and acute lower limb ischemia complicating peripartum cardiomyopathy successfully treated by streptokinase].

Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a cardiac disease at high thromboembolism potential. The authors report a case of peripartum cardiomyopathy admitted for congestive heart failure. Echocardiography found a dilated cardiomyopathy with severely impaired left ventricular systolic function and biventricular thrombi.

[Epidemiological characteristics and clinical features of black African subject's resistant hypertension].

Introduction: Few studies in sub-Saharan Africa were interested in resistant hypertension. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of resistant hypertension in hypertensive black African population, and to describe its clinical and therapeutic features.

Patients And Methods: From May 1, 2010 to May 31, 2012, we included consecutively hypertensive followed in two hospitals in the city of Ouagadougou, under antihypertensive treatment at optimum dose and observant.

[Acute myocardial infarction complicated by acute pulmonary oedema and cardiogenic collapse during dobutamine stress echocardiography].

Acute myocardial infarction is a rare complication of dobutamine stress echocardiography. We describe the case of a diabetic patient who presented with an anterior myocardial infarction complicated by an acute pulmonary oedema and cardiogenic collapse during dobutamine stress echocardiography, requiring five days' hospitalisation. Coronarography could not be performed because of inadequate medical facilities.

Epidemiological and clinical features, ultrasound findings and prognosis of right-sided infective endocarditis in a teaching hospital in Ouagadougou.

Introduction: Right-sided infective endocarditis is rare. It accounts about 5 to 10% of all infective endocarditis cases and is prevalent in patients with congenital heart disease, intravascular devices and drug addiction. Our study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of right-sided endocarditis and evaluate the prognosis after treatment.

[Factors associated with poor blood pressure control in hypertensive black Africans: cross-sectional study of 456 hypertensive patients from Burkina Faso].

Introduction: Hypertension in black is more frequent with early onset and clinically more severe. The blood pressure control and the decrease of global cardiovascular risk are two main goals of the treatment of hypertension. The objectives of this study were to determine the proportion of uncontrolled hypertension in hypertensive patients followed as outpatients and to investigate the factors associated with poor control.

[Pulmonary embolism mimicking acute anterior myocardial infarction: diagnostic trap].

Pulmonary embolism remains the major malingerer of acute chest disease. The clinical and electrocardiographic manifestations may deviate to a diagnosis of myocardial infarction. We report a case of bilateral pulmonary embolism in a patient of 50 years.
