This proposed scientific statement is focused on providing new insights regarding challenges and opportunities for cardiovascular health (CVH) promotion in Africa. The statement includes an overview of the current state of CVH in Africa, with a particular interest in the cardiometabolic risk factors and their evaluation through metrics. The statement also explains the main principles of primordial prevention, its relevance in reducing noncommunicable disease and the different strategies that have been effective worldwide.

[Percutaneous coronary intervention in the management of acute coronary syndromes in Senegal : Challenges and results].

Introduction: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains a major therapeutic tool in the management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, it is not widely practiced in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly for the management of ACS. The availability of a catheterization laboratory for 24-hour management of ACS in Dakar is an important step in improving the prognosis of patients.

Sudden Cardiac Death Following Thrombolysis in a Young Woman with Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a well-known cause of acute coronary syndrome. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most common presentation of SCAD, which can be complicated by sudden cardiac death (SCD). Conservative management is the cornerstone of treatment except in case of ongoing ischemia or large myocardial compromise.

[Spontaneous coronary artery dissection in young male patient with STEMI: Unsuccessful fibrinolysis].

Spontaneous coronary artery disease (SCAD) is a particular form of acute coronary syndrome affecting preferentially female patient with few or without traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Male patient is exceptionally concerned by SCAD. We report a case of a young male patient presenting with anterolateral STEMI in relation with SCAD of Left main and left anterior descending artery (LAD).
