ABSTRACT

The new coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is the main global health crisis of our time and the greatest threat we have faced in this century. According to the National Health Security Agency (ANSS), which is the national body responsible for managing epidemics and pandemics, 1927 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed, 11 deaths with more than 4000 contact subjects. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the activities of the cardiology department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital at the Conakry University Hospital. This was a descriptive retrospective study from January 2020 to April 2020, focusing on consultation and hospitalisation activities in the cardiology department of Ignace Deen National Hospital at Conakry University Hospital. The study consisted of assessing the impact of the pandemic on patient use of the service during the first weeks of the pandemic. We recorded the frequency of consultations and hospitalisations from March to April 2020, which we compared to the frequency of consultations and hospitalisations in January and February 2020. During this study from March to April 2020, we identified 130 patients in consultation against 450 patients for the two months preceding the official declaration of the pandemic in Guinea, a drop of 71.1% (320 patients). The same remark was made in hospitalisation with a drop of 75% (35 patients against 140 for the two months preceding the pandemic). At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Guinea, it is clear that there has been a rapid and significant drop in the effective use of the cardiology service.

ABSTRACT

L'objectif de cette étude était de décrire la ressemblance des manifestations cliniques de l'embolie pulmonaire à celles du syndrome coronarien aigu.Il s'agissait d'une patiente de 60 ans hypertendueadmise pour douleur thoracique d'allure angineuse,dyspnée d'effort évoluant depuis deux jours. Par ailleurs la patiente rapportait une notion de voyage routier récent de plus de 6 heures. Tension artérielle à 170/100mmhg, fréquence cardiaque à 120bpm, fréquence respiratoire à 18cycles/mn , température à370C, SaO2 à 98% à l'air ambiant. L'examen physique est sans particularité. L'électrocardiogramme inscrivait une tachycardie sinusale à 121 cycles/mn,un sus décalage du segment ST en V1, V2 et V3 puis un sous décalage en V5, V6 ,DI ,DII et AVF, une hypertrophie ventriculaire gauche. L'angioscanner thoracique objectivait une embolie pulmonaire de l'artère pulmonaire droite. L'embolie pulmonaire étant la grande simulatrice des pathologies thoraciques en général et en particulier le syndrome coronarien aigu, la vigilance du clinicien est mise à rude épreuve pour ne pas confondre ces deux pathologies qui sont toutes des urgences cardiovasculaires avec une prise en charge bien distincte. Nous mettons ici en exergue les similitudes entre l'embolie pulmonaire et le syndrome coronarien aigu
