Introduction: Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) are highly prevalent in SubSaharan African communities. In these countries the burden of CVRF during early pregnancy has been poorly documented.
Aim: The objective of this study was to describe the frequency of CVRF in pregnant women before the 20th week of gestation in Benin.

- The results showed that a lot of people with ulcers had lower blood pressure in their fingers, suggesting that these blood flow issues play a big role in causing ulcers, separate from other blood vessel problems.
Aims: To evaluate the performance of the currently accepted LVH electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria from ethnic-specific normal values.
Methods And Results: We included 309 hypertensive subjects with both ECG (12‑leads device) and echocardiographic analysis. The diagnosis of LVH was established by echocardiography from specific norms.
