ABSTRACT
Over a period of two years (1986-1987), the authors have studied the morbidity and mortality of various cardiovascular diseases in a hospital population of 268 patients. By comparing it with a previous similar study conducted over 5 years (1981-1985), they have reached the following conclusions:
the prevalence of the main nosological groups is equivalent (H.B.P., rheumatoid valvulopathies, chronic pulmonary heart, ischemic cardiopathies; severity of the valvulopathies and their prognosis which raise social and medical problems especially that of cardiac surgery, still inexistent in Guinea; increased prevalence of diseases such as hypertension and rheumatoid valvulopathies. They suggest early screening, especially for rheumatoid valvulopathies and hypertension, which cause major social problems because of their complications. Besides, it would be desirable that visits at regular intervals be made mandatory in schools and universities and at preemployment examinations and in all SMI (?) centers in the country.
