Abstract
OBJECTIVE To calculate the vascular age of hypertensive patients and assess the risk at 10 years of occurrence of an absolute cardiovascular event in outpatient consultation of the Abidjan Heart Institute. PATIENTS AND METHODOLOGY Cross-sectional study with descriptive and analytical purposes from June 2021 to September 2021, i.e. 4 months in patients at least 30 years of age followed in the outpatient department for arterial hypertension without cardiovascular complications. Data were collected using a questionnaire. We considered the parameters established in the D'Agostino chart for the calculation of vascular age. Each parameter was weighted and the total points obtained corresponded to the vascular age. The cardiovascular risk at 10 years was also obtained from another abacus established by D'Agostino by cross-referencing the total points of each patient with pre-established data. RESULTS Three hundred hypertensive people were included in this study. The calendar average age was 62.0 ± 10 years with extremes of 30 and 95 years. The gender distribution showed female predominance and there was no significant difference in vascular age by sex. The mean vascular age of all patients was 73.4 ± 9.9 years. The mean difference between actual and vascular age was 11.4 years. Dyslipidemia (p = 0.0002), diabetes (p = 0.0004) and unstandardized BP (p = 0.0000) significantly influenced vascular age. There was no significant difference between smokers and non-smokers (p = 0.1349). All men had a greater than 30% risk of having a cardiovascular accident while women before the age of 35 had no risk. Over the age of 60, almost all patients (both men and women) had a greater than 30% risk of having a cardiovascular accident at 10 years. CONCLUSION The calculation of vascular age made it possible to assess arterial aging and calculate the probability at 10 years of occurrence of a cardiovascular event. This study also highlights the importance of cardiovascular risk and vascular age assessment for management adaptation and therapeutic education.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Full blood count is routinely performed in the evaluation of hypertensive patients. However, usefulness of leukocyte ratios in cardiovascular risk (CVR) assessment hasn't yet been proven in Cameroonians. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the contribution of leukocyte ratios in CVR assessment of non-diabetic hypertensive adults. METHODOLOGY We carried out a cross sectional study including non-diabetic hypertensive patients followed up at the cardiology unit of the Yaoundé Central Hospital from November to June 2022. We collected relevant clinical data with a pre-established questionnaire and blood samples from each patient for different biological analyses. The spearman correlation test was used to assess on the one hand the relationship between leukocyte ratios, highly sensitive CRP and the WHO 2019 risk score as our primary end point, and on the other hand between leukocyte indices and the other risk estimators as our secondary outcome. The significant threshold level was set as 0.05. RESULTS We included 165 participants (102 females) with a mean age of 57.6 (10.4) years. The median duration of hypertension since diagnosis was 7 years and only 27% of participants on treatment had a controlled blood pressure. There was no significant correlation between leukocyte ratios and the WHO 2019 risk score. Highly sensitive CRP and the atherogenic index of plasma were significantly correlated respectively with the granulocyte to lymphocyte ratio (rho = 0.18, p = 0.03) and the eosinophil to lymphocyte ratio (rho = 0.28, p = 0.01). There exists a weak positive association between the granulocyte to lymphocyte ratio and the Reynolds risk score. CONCLUSION Leukocyte ratios are not useful for CVR assessment in hypertensive Cameroonians with respect to the WHO 2019 risk score. Prospective studies are needed to assess their usefulness in combination with conventional risk factors to improve prediction of cardiovascular events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events. The cardiovascular risk assessment is performed using specific algorithms, particularly SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP developed by the European Society of Cardiology. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective cohort study from February 1, 2022, to July 31, 2022, enrolling 410 hypertensive patients. Epidemiological, paraclinical, therapeutic, and follow-up data were analyzed. Cardiovascular risk stratification of patients was performed using SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP algorithms. We compared the initial and 6-month cardiovascular risks. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 60.88 ± 12.35 years with a female predominance (sex ratio = 0.66). In addition to hypertension, dyslipidemia (45.4%) was the most frequently associated risk factor. A high proportion of patients were classified as high (48.6%) and very high (46.3%) cardiovascular risk, with a significant difference between men and women. Reassessment of cardiovascular risk after 6 months of treatment found significant differences compared with the initial cardiovascular risk (p < 0.001). The rate of patients at low to moderate cardiovascular risk (49.5%) increased substantially, whereas the proportion of patients at very high risk decreased (6.8%). CONCLUSION Our study conducted at Abidjan Heart Institute in a young population of patients with hypertension revealed a severe cardiovascular risk profile. Almost half of the patients are classified at very high cardiovascular risk, based on the SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP. The widespread use of these new algorithms for risk stratification should lead to more aggressive management and prevention strategies for hypertension and associated risk factors.

Abstract
Hypertension is the modifiable risk factor causing the largest loss in healthy life-years. The risk of cardiovascular events increases exponentially with the level of blood pressure (BP), starting from 115mmHg for systolic BP. Out-of-office BP measurements (self-measurements or ambulatory BP measurements) are now preferred for the diagnosis and follow up. In the absence of a preferred indication, antihypertensive treatment is based on thiazide diuretics, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. These treatments are associated with a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality in people with office BP ≥ 140/90mmHg (self-measurements ≥ 135/85mmHg). For people at high cardiovascular risk, especially those with a history of cardiovascular disease, starting the treatment for an office BP ≥ 130/80mmHg is also beneficial (self-measurements ≥ 130/80mmHg as well). It is now common to start treatment with half-dose dual therapy, which is more effective and better tolerated than full-dose monotherapy. The clinical effect is assessed at 4 weeks and intensification, if required, is then usually done by switching to the same dual therapy at full-dose for both components.

Abstract
Small interfering RNA (siRNAs) are double-stranded RNAs of around 20 base pairs in length that trigger RNAi machinery, which promotes degradation of a target mRNA avoiding protein translation. SiRNAs are liver-targeted, using tris N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) as the targeting ligand. This discovery received the Nobel Prize for medicine and physiology in 2006 and lead to substantial therapeutic advances. Application field and development of these siRNA has been very fast. Indeed, patisiran has been released in 2018 for hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis. This first treatment showed the security and efficacy of such a product. Since, treatments have been developed for acute hepatic porphyria and primary hyperoxaluria. The current pipeline for new siRNA development is ambitious; clinical trial are ongoing in nephrology, as in the IgA nephropathy. Frequent diseases are also targeted such as hypertension or hypercholesterolemia. © 2022 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS on behalf of Société francophone de néphrologie, dialyse et transplantation.

Abstract
Hypertension is a very common comorbidity in patients suffering from cancer, due to common risk factors. In addition, many oncology drugs, including the new tyrosine kinase-targeting drugs, may induce hypertension or unbalance a pre-existing hypertension. Severe hypertension may lead to cardiac, renal or vascular complications and require the discontinuation or modification of anticancer treatment. It is therefore necessary to be aware of the molecules at risk. The management of hypertension in cancer is the subject of expert consensus and is based on the usual antihypertensive drugs. Adequate cardiac monitoring should be organised before, during and after treatment to allow early management and avoid possible complications. The aim is to provide optimal oncological treatment and improve short-term survival, but also to reduce the long-term cardiovascular risk of cancer survivors.

Abstract
The European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA)/European Society of Hypertension (ESH) recommends out-of-center blood pressure measurements, self-blood pressure measurement or ambulatory blood pressure measurement in dialysis patients. However, the feasibility of out-of-center blood pressure measurements in routine care is not known. The objective of our study was to quantify it as "a priori" i.e. the percentage of hemodialysis to whom out-of-center blood pressure measurements can be proposed and who accept it, as "a posteriori", i.e. the percentage of out-of-center blood pressure measurements made and valid. A systematic out-of-center blood pressure measurements program was implemented from April to October 2019 in our chronic hemodialysis structures. It was proposed to each dialysis patient to carry out after education, an self-blood pressure measurement (Omron M3®), from 2 measurements, to 1 to 2minutes interval, mornings and evenings of 6days without dialysis (validity: 15 measures). Apart from arrhythmic patients, to all patients "not eligible" for self-blood pressure measurement (visually impaired, hemiplegic, neuropsychological disorders, language barrier), a 44-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurement (Microlife WatchBP 03®) was proposed separating 2 hemodialysis sessions; measures every 15minutes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 30minutes from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. (validity: 40 measurements/day and 14/night). This is a study evaluating practices recommended for routine care in 18-year-old hemodialysis, having given their consent to the collection and analysis of the data. One hundred twenty nine patients were treated with chronic hemodialysis in our structures during the out-of-center blood pressure measurements campaign. Out-of-center blood pressure measurements could not be done in 21 patients (4 deceased, 2 transplanted and 4 absent before evaluation; 7 arrhythmics; 3 refusals and 1 multiple-disabled). Of these 108 patients (sex ratio 1.25; 69.3±13.5 years), 23 were ineligible for self-blood pressure measurement (visually impaired, neuro- and/or psychological disorders, language barrier). Due to 4 self-blood pressure measurement failures, the feasibility of the self-blood pressure measurement (n=81/129) is 62.8 % (CI95% 54.2-70.7). Of the 24 ambulatory blood pressure measurements performed (23 among those not eligible for self-blood pressure measurement and 1 failure of self-blood pressure measurement), 19 were valid. The "a posteriori" feasibility of out-of-center blood pressure measurements (n=100/129) is 77.5 % (CI95% 69.6-83.4). The feasibility of out-of-center blood pressure measurements in hemodialysis patients is good, making the application of the recommendations possible.

Abstract
Reninoma or juxtaglomerular cell tumor is a rare usually benign renal renin secreting tumor. We report the case of an 18-year old woman, without any medical history, investigated in our hospital's emergency department for a bilateral papilledema. Ambulatory ophthalmological investigations were performed because of a newly occurring blurry vision, associated with diffuse headaches. Cerebral mRI and lumbar puncture recommended by the ophthalmologist and neurologist excluded intra-cranial hypertension. The patient presented with severe hypertension. Laboratory values showed hypokalemia, compensated metabolic alkalosis and microalbuminuria. During the hospital stay, she developed AKIN 1 acute renal injury. Ultrasound revealed a tissular cystic lesion of the superior pole of the right kidney. Abdominal mRI confirmed the lesion and raised suspicion for a renal cell carcinoma without calicial or vascular invasion. Plasma renin value was >500 mUI/L with normal values for plasma aldosterone. Renal biopsy diagnosed a juxtaglomerular cell tumor. After an aggressive initial treatment, hypertension remained well controlled with spironolactone only, finally allowing for withdrawal of all antihypertensive medications. Robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was performed. Studies of the operative specimen confirmed the diagnosis of benign reninoma. Clinical follow-up showed complete resolution of clinical and biological parameters.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite therapeutic progress, less than half of hypertensive patients are controlled. The objective of this study was to examine the links between blood pressure control and socioeconomic factors. METHODS We used data collected in the cardiology department of Sfax University Hospital as part of the Tunisian national hypertension registry. We studied the associations between the socio-economic variables (educational level, profession, medical insurance) and optimal blood pressure control (SBP<140mmHg and DBP<90mmHg) using logistic regression models. RESULTS The average age of our population was 65 and the sex ratio was 0.95. We found, as expected, the clinical and behavioral factors associated with a good blood pressure control, namely: female sex, low-sodium diet, therapeutic compliance, and regular physical activity. However, obesity and an increased number of antihypertensive drugs have been associated with poor blood pressure control. The study of the effect of socio-economic variables on BP control finds a significant gradient against the most disadvantaged social categories for our three social variables in the univariate analysis. The inclusion of clinical and behavioral factors in the multivariate analysis attenuated these associations but did not fully explain them. CONCLUSION Our study shows that there are social inequalities in the control of blood pressure. Social justice and improving living conditions are probably the real solutions to the problem of these social inequalities in health.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is a worldwide health problem. Masked hypertension is a relatively recent reported entity with a diagnostic problem. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical and paraclinical characteristics and to identify the predictive factors of masked hypertension in obese patients. METHODS It is a prospective study including obese patients with normal arterial pressure at office. All of these patients were given ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) to screen for masked hypertension, laboratory tests and a complete echocardiography study. RESULTS A total of 50 patients were included. The mean age was 46.52±10.4 years. The mean systolic blood pressure (BP) at office was 120.8±8.8mmHg and the mean diastolic BP was 75±7.3mmHg. The prevalence of masked hypertension in obese adults was 36% with a predominantly non-dipper profile (38%). The study of echocardiographic parameters found dilated left atrium (LA) in 16 patients (32%). The left ventricle (LV) was hypertrophied in 32 patients (64%). The overall LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) was on average -18.85±0.9% and the LA GLS was on average 37.35±4.5%. In our study, metabolic syndrome, low HDL cholesterol, elevated fasting blood glucose, hyperuricemia, LA dilatation, LV hypertrophy, diastolic LV dysfunction and altered myocardial deformities were factors associated with masked hypertension in obese adults. CONCLUSION It is important to screen for hypertension by ambulatory measurement in at-risk obese patients who present associated cardiovascular risk factors to reduce morbidity and mortality. Echocardiography and speckle tracking analysis could be helpful in detection sub-clinical myocardial deterioration in obese patients with masked hypertension.

Abstract
AIM To investigate home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) practice among treated hypertensive patients in a subsaharan Africa setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cross-sectional observational study over a five-month period from April 30 to September 30, 2019. The survey was carried out among treated hypertensive patients aged at least 18-years-old, received in outpatient consultations department at the Abidjan Heart Institute during the study period. We assessed the rate of patients performing HBPM, and compared characteristics and rate of blood pressure control between patients according to the realization of HBPM. RESULTS Three hundred hypertensive patients (mean age 59.2±12.0 years, sex ratio 1.4) were included. Of these, 68.3% reported to have information about HBPM. In 42.3% of cases, patients had an electronic blood pressure device at home, the majority of which were devices with arm cuffs (65.3%). The study showed that 40.3% of the patients had received education on hBPSM, most commonly provided by practitioners (71.9%). Among our population study, 36.3% performed HBPM, of whom only 13.8% according to the 3-day standardised protocol. In multivariate analysis, HBPM appeared to be an independent factor associated with better blood pressure control. CONCLUSION HBPM is rarely used by patients with hypertension in our practice. Most of the patients do not receive education about HBPM and adequate training in order to perform it routinely.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most frequent genetic kidney disease. Cardiovascular disorders associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease are multiple and may occur early in life. In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are related both to the nonspecific consequences of chronic kidney disease and to the particular phenotype of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Compared to the general population, patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease present an increased prevalence of hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, atrial fibrillation, valvular diseases, aneurisms and arterial dissections. This review article provides an update on cardiovascular disorders associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and recent pathophysiological developments.

Abstract
AIMS The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of high-sensitivity (hs) troponin I to predict cardiac origin after syncope. The secondary objective is to determine the causes of elevated troponin. PROCEDURE Were included hospitalized patients with syncope/near syncope diagnosed in ED. The diagnostic accuracy to predict cardiac origin was evaluated and compared to the "high risk" group, defined by the 2018 European Society of Cardiology guidelines. RESULTS A total of 163 patients were enrolled, 26% had a cardiac origin. Positive troponin I hs predict a cardiac origin with a sensitivity of 31%, a specificity of 80%, positive predictive value of 35% and negative value of 77%. These diagnostic performances are not discriminating and lower than the ESC classification. A positive troponine I hs level is associated with 5 times more cardiac failure during the hospitalization. CONCLUSION A positive troponin I hs level after syncope/near syncope is not predictive of cardiac origin. It appears to be an early marker of ventricular remodeling in heart failure.

Abstract
In France, 1 adult out of 3 is affected by hypertension and only 1 hypertensive out of 4 achieves blood pressure targets (<140/90mmHg). This proportion is significantly better in similar countries (e.g. England, Germany, the USA). Nephrologists are particularly concerned since although more than 90 % of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stages 3 and 4 patients are hypertensive, the CKD-REIN cohort shows that in France more than 1 out of 2 patients with CKD remains with a blood pressure above 140/90mmHg. This report, based on the latest French studies and surveys, raises an important warning about the situation in France, discusses the main reasons for these results and offers some suggestions for improvement. Otherwise we risk a dramatic increase in the incidence of myocardial infarction, stroke, dependency and dementia in the coming years.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which is responsible for the current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, uses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as a gateway into host cells. In this review, we summarise the biology of this enzyme, which plays a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis. Blockers of the renin–angiotensin system modify the expression and activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in different ways. The effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers on the expression and enzyme activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 are reviewed, and the consequences of these treatments for the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 infection are discussed.

Abstract
With the multiplication of COVID-19 severe acute respiratory syndrome cases due to SARS-COV2, some concerns about angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 (ACE1) inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARB) have emerged. Since the ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) enzyme is the receptor that allows SARS COV2 entry into cells, the fear was that pre-existing treatment with ACEi or ARB might increase the risk of developing severe or fatal severe acute respiratory syndrome in case of COVID-19 infection. The present article discusses these concerns. ACE2 is a membrane-bound enzyme (carboxypeptidase) that contributes to the inactivation of angiotensin II and therefore physiologically counters angiotensin II effects. ACEis do not inhibit ACE2. Although ARBs have been shown to up-regulate ACE2 tissue expression in experimental animals, evidence was not always consistent in human studies. Moreover, to date there is no evidence that ACEi or ARB administration facilitates SARS-COV2 cell entry by increasing ACE2 tissue expression in either animal or human studies. Finally, some studies support the hypothesis that elevated ACE2 membrane expression and tissue activity by administration of ARB and/or infusion of soluble ACE2 could confer protective properties against inflammatory tissue damage in COVID-19 infection. In summary, based on the currently available evidence and as advocated by many medical societies, ACEi or ARB should not be discontinued because of concerns with COVID-19 infection, except when the hemodynamic situation is precarious and case-by-case adjustment is required.

Abstract
AIMS OF STUDY Since January 2017, olmesartan-based treatment are no longer reimbursed by French national health insurance. Indeed, enteropathy cases, potentially lethal, were described in relation to this medication. Objectives were to study the impact of stopping the reimbursement of olmesartan for hypertensive patients. PATIENTS AND METHOD A descriptive retrospective study was performed with data from two primary care facilities in French occidental Normandy. To evaluate the blood pressure control, different blood pressure measurements were considered during the year before (period 1) and the year after (period 2) potential stopping olmesartan. A medico-economic analysis was also realized. RESULTS From June 2015 to July 2017, 107 hypertensive patients treated by olmesartan were included. Among them, 47 patients (44%) had an antihypertensive monotherapy. olmesartan had been mainly switched by another sartan (75%, 80/107) including valsartan (59%, 47/80). Mean blood pressures during period 1 and period 2 were not statistically different. Moreover, 83% of patients were initially controlled with olmesartan and 81% after switching medication (P=0,86). The use of olmesartan generated an additional cost of 58% compared to the other drugs that replaced it during period 2. CONCLUSIONS Stopping olmesartan reimbursement didn't seem to have a significant impact on blood pressure control of hypertensive patients while its cost is significant. In addition to potential serious side effects, olmesartan has not shown any improvement in cardiovascular morbi-mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to objectivize if the cardiovascular therapeutic changes performed during hospitalization of older patients with hypertension and/or heart failure (HF), were maintained in ambulatory 3 month after hospitalization. METHODS This is a longitudinal study conducted in a geriatric unit. Patients over 65 years with hypertension and/or HF, who had at least one change in cardiovascular medicaton during hospitalization, and who accepted the 3-month follow-up were included in the longitudinal study. At admission, during hospitalization and 3 months after hospitalization data concerning cardiovascular medication were collected. RESULTS During hospitalization, 142 (73.6%) patients had at least one change in hypertension and/or HF medication. Overall, 249 changes were performed. Forty-one patients received follow-up at 3 months. At 3 months, therapeutic changes were maintained by 48.8% of the general practitioners (n=20 patients). For the rest, 41.5% of the patients had benefited from new therapeutic changes (28 changes for 10 patients) and 9.7% of the general practitioners (n=4 patients) had restored the initial prescription before hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS Medication review performed by geriatricians and pharmacists during hospitalization resulted in 249 changes. These changes aimed at limiting iatrogenic disease, by reducing overtreatment and potentially inappropriate prescriptions. Difficulties in the patient care continuity between the hospital and ambulatory setting have been identified.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiac insufficiency affects nearly 2% of the population with increased morbidity/mortality despite advances in therapeutic management. The sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS) is a risk factor for, and cause of aggravation of, myocardial dysfunction. BACKGROUND SAS is found in 70% of patients with chronic cardiac failure, 65% of patients with refractory hypertension, 60% of patients with cerebro-vascular accidents and 50% of patients with atrial fibrillation. The associated cardiovascular mortality is multiplied by a factor of 2 to 3. The pathophysiological mechanisms are intermittent nocturnal hypoxia, variations in CO2 levels, variations in intrathoracic pressure and repeated arrousals from sleep, concurrent with sympathetic hyperactivity, endothelial dysfunction and systemic inflammation. CONCLUSIONS SAS and cardiological management in patients presenting with myocardial dysfunction should be combined. It is necessary to pursue the scientific investigations with the aim of determining a precise care pathway and the respective places of each of the cardiological and pulmonary measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High blood pressure (HBP) is the most common chronic disease worldwide. In France, its prevalence varies by region. It is high in most Overseas Departments and Regions (DOM-ROM), at 38.2% in Réunion (1), 44% in Mayotte (2), 28% in the French Antilles, 18% in French Guiana, 25% in French Polynesia (3) and 28% in Saint-Martin (4). PURPOSE To determinate the differences within the same healthcare system between hypertension in Metropolitan France compared to Overseas France Departments and Regions (DOM-ROM). RESULTS Sex-based differences. In contrast to Metropolitan France, in Overseas France the prevalence of HBP is higher in women, although women show better rates of care (screening and rates of patients "normalised" under medical treatment). The main explanation for this is the higher prevalence of obesity in women. Obesity multiplies the risk of developing hypertension by 2.5 Obesity in Guadeloupe affects 14% of men compared to 31% of women. Socio-economic particularities of hypertension in Overseas France. The numerous epidemiological surveys carried out in the French Antilles have demonstrated the major role of socio-economic conditions in the occurrence of hypertension, alongside the usual risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, salt consumption and obesity (7). In the absence of socio-economic disparity, there is no significant disparity in the prevalence of hypertension specially in men. CONCLUSIONS There are differences between France Overseas Regions and Territories (DOM-ROMs) and Metropolitan France in terms of the prevalence, knowledge, treatment and control of hypertension, and these vary according to sex. For men, the prevalence and treatment of hypertension differ very little when considering a population of workers or employees in both regions. On the other hand, for women, the prevalence of hypertension is higher in the French Antilles-Guiana. This difference is not fully explained by the higher prevalence of obesity observed among female employees in the French Antilles-Guiana. For these patients, we also observe better knowledge and better control of hypertension. Care for men in socio-economically disadvantaged situations of precarity must be improved in terms of screening and adherence to treatment.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Non-adherence to treatment is one of the problems practitioners face with regard to hypertension. This lack of compliance is often attributed to disease representations. Understanding their nature can therefore help to better target therapeutic education messages and thus, increase compliance. METHOD It is in this context that the « groupe infirmiers et acteurs de la SFHTA » initiated a qualitative exploratory study of the representations of arterial hypertension in France. The study covered three sites: Bordeaux, Lyon and Nancy. Interviews with patients were conducted by the members of the group. Questions included the disease definition, its causes and consequences. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim; they were analyzed with Nvivo pro® 11 software. RESULTS HTA is discovered accidentally. Patients define the disease according to their experience of symptoms, their perceptions of risks and the disease's consequences. The thresholds of systolic and diastolic blood pressure are unknown; most of the patients ignore their levels of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Besides, the fluctuating levels of blood pressure and conflicting messages about "lifestyle" generate confusion. HTA remains associated with stress. Regarding the burden of the disease, having to take a daily medication engendered anxieties, before being integrated into daily routines. The study also showed that patients have the desire to "pay attention" to their diet primarily. CONCLUSION This study showed the need to strengthen the training of health professionals and harmonize educational messages, which would allow patients to integrate new recommendations without stress.

Abstract
The use of an automatic blood pressure monitor with the help of a protocol given by an e-health application allows self-testing of blood pressure without the help of a health professional. OBJECTIVE Conduct a screening campaign for high blood pressure in artisanal bakeries in France and develop a score to predict the observation of an increase in blood pressure during self-testing. METHOD Cross-sectional survey conducted in mainland France in 2018 using 1000 screening kits including a tablet, Predic'HTA® application and a connected electronic blood pressure monitor (BP Track, IHealth). Available for one week in 14,000 artisanal bakeries, in turn. Used in the workplace, on a voluntary basis, by bakery employees. Completion of a health questionnaire with an estimate of excessive salt consumption. Self-screening of 3 blood pressure measurements with centralization of data on a secure database for epidemiological analysis. The average of the last 2 measurements characterizes each subject. RESULTS Full use of Predic'HTA® was obtained in 62.4% of users or 7502 subjects (44% under 35 years of age, 44% 35 to 54 years of age, 12% 55 years of age and over). Antihypertensive treatment was followed by 27% of those aged 55 and over and 1% of those under 35. Among untreated subjects, the prevalence of BP>140/90 was 21.1%, increasing with age (13%, 27%, 33%) and higher among men (27.2%) than among women (15.4%). With the parameters age, sex, weight, IMC, family history of high blood pressure, excessive salt consumption, previous intake of an antihypertensive drug, a score is calculated to associate a probability of having an BP >120/80 with self-screening. The ROC curve shows an AUC at 0.723 with a PPV at 91% and a NPV at 41%. The depist'HTA® score is available at www.depisthta.net CONCLUSION: Self-testing of blood pressure is possible with an electronic blood pressure monitor if a dedicated appliance is used at the same time. The development of the prediction score depist'HTA® for a blood pressure level>120/80 would be useful to target subjects who need to self-test their blood pressure in the short term.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES High Blood Pressure (HBP) is a worldwide public health problem. It can be particularly severe in the Black race. Recent studies in Cameroon, showed an alarming prevalence, leading us to want to study the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evaluative aspects of severe, (BP op to 180/110mmHg), recently diagnosed HBP in Yaounde. Our objective was to determine its clinical presentation and evolution. METHODS We conducted nine months prospective cohort study, from January to September 2016. We recruited from the active population participants who voluntarily accepted blood pressure screening offered in various localities in Yaounde, and were aged from 18 years and above. RESULTS Of a total of 6519 people who participated in the screening, 1875 (28.8%.), presented a HBP and 363 (5.6%) had severe HBP. Our cohort comprised 153 (42.1%) of these individuals with sustained severe hypertension, not on medication, who accepted the invitation to participate in the study. The range of 45-54 years and 55-64 years were the most represented; the sex ratio was 0.9. The cardiovascular risk factors number range from 5 to 8 with a median of 6. Systolic BP ranged from 184 to 225mmHg with a median of 200mmHg; while the diastolic BP ranged between 111-132.5mmHg with a median of 119mmHg. Kidney injury (77.8%) was the main complications. We identified 3 clinical forms: hypertensive emergencies 121 (79.1%) cases and hypertensive crises 32 (20.9%) cases. In these two groups, 33 (21.6%) patients presented with "super HBP" (a blood pressure>250/150mmHg). The average rate of BP control over 6 month was 39%. The main cause of poor BP control was lack of therapeutic compliance. We registered one death at the 3rd month of follow up due to acute kidney injury. CONCLUSION Severe HBP prevalence in Yaounde is high in the active fraction of the population insidiously affected. Particularly, unsuspected renal impairment appears to be the major complication. The bad blood pressure control is linked to poor therapeutic observance and persistence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES At the Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital Group neurovascular unit, the therapeutic patient education program "Treatment of high blood pressure after stroke" involved integrating a vascular physician. The objectives were to include a significant number of patients, to integrate learning self-measurement, and to make an initial analysis of the results concerning patient knowledge, self-measurement practices, adherence to treatment, and control of blood pressure. METHODS Eighty-six patients under 90 years of age admitted to the neurovascular unit were included in the program between January 1 and October 31, 2017, and participated in an in-hospital educational diagnostic interview followed by an initial session. During this period, 30 patients were reviewed within 3 to 6 months after discharge, with a post-session evaluation for 22 of them. Patient satisfaction was assessed with a questionnaire. A questionnaire was also proposed to the staff. RESULTS The mean blood pressure of the 22 patients reviewed was on target and they had improved their level of knowledge. The number of sphygmomanometers increased from 5 to 20, but the practice of cycles was not yet mastered. Levels of observed compliance changed little. Patients and paramedics appreciated the program and were convinced of its usefulness. These results do not support a direct effect of therapeutic patient education on blood pressure control, but the observed results are positive and encouraging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Noise pollution is one of the major environmental pollutants that can adversely affect public health. Cardiovascular diseases are the primary out-auditory adverse outcome caused by occupational noise exposure. AIMS To investigate the association between occupational exposure to high level of noise and blood pressure among a group of workers in a company of electricity production in the Centre of Tunisia. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 120 occupational noise-exposed workers and 120 non-exposed employees were recruited to conduct a cross-sectional survey exploring the association between occupational noise-exposed and arterial hypertension. Data collection was based on a questionnaire, a clinical exam and biomarkers. Blood pressure was measured using a mercury sphygmomanometer following a standard protocol. The occupational noise level was measured with a portable calibrated sound meter. Multiple logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI) of noise exposure adjusted by potential confounders. RESULTS The noise level to which our population was exposed ranged from 75dB to 103dB with an average noise level of 89dB. Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and the prevalence of hypertension were significantly higher in exposed individuals than in non-exposed. In multivariate analysis, elevated SBP in exposed workers was associated with high-salt diet (OR adjusted=1.71, 95% CI adjusted [1.14-1.98]) and occupational seniority more than 8 years (adjusted OR=5.31, 95% CI [2.22-12.72]). The factors associated with high BP in the exposed group were diabetes (OR adjusted to 15.31; 95% adjusted CI [2.61-89.58]), history of hypertension in the family (OR adjusted to 11.46; 95% adjusted CI [5.18-83][1.58-83.05]), mean of age (OR adjusted to 6.65; 95% adjusted CI [1.87-23.59]) and high-salt diet (OR adjusted to 0.29; 95% adjusted CI [0.09-0.95]). CONCLUSION Occupational chronic noise exposure was associated with higher levels of SBP, DBP, and the risk of hypertension. These findings indicate that effective and feasible measures should be implemented to reduce the risk of hypertension caused by occupational noise exposure in companies of electricity production.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To determine the prevalence of general and abdominal obesity and to describe their association with high blood pressure and physical activity levels in a peri-urban population in West Africa. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in Abidjan (Cote d'Ivoire) in the Anonkoi 3 district, from 24 April to 23 May 2014. Obesity, abdominal obesity and physical activity levels were assessed. Blood pressure was measured. The data were entered on the Epi data software (version 3.1) and analyzed with the R studio software version 1.1.447. The existence of associations was demonstrated by the Pearson Khi2 test at the 0.05 significance level. A multivariate analysis was performed. RESULTS We recruited 486 adults 18 years of age and older, including 327 women and 159 men. The average age was 36.1 years with a standard deviation of 12.83 years. The prevalence of obesity was 14.8 %, that of abdominal obesity 50.8 % or more than half of the population. Females (P=0.000), ages 30 years and older (P=0.003), high blood pressure (P=0.000) and low activity (P=0.033) were significantly associated with obesity and abdominal obesity. Multivariate analysis showed that the relationship between female gender and abdominal obesity was very significant (OR=48.52; 95 % CI). CONCLUSION This village located in a municipality of Abidjan has a heterogeneous population. This one adopts the sedentary habits of the city.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess echocardiographic aspect of Congolese hypertensive patients, and to identify predictive factors of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). PATIENTS AND METHODS A transversal study was lead in Brazzaville from January 2011 to December 2013 (36 months). In total, 1125 hypertensive patients under treatment underwent transthoracic echocardiography. The test was carried out either as part of an initial assessment of the hypertension disease or during the development of evocative symptom or complication. Patients' sociodemographic data and echocardiographic parameters were collected and analyzed. RESULTS There were 621 males (55.2%) and 504 females (44.8%), mean age 54.7±12 years. The main indication of the test were the hypertension initial evaluation in 792 cases (70.4%), dyspnea in 122 cases (10.8%), investigation of ischemic stroke in 101 cases (9%), cardiac failure and chest pain in respectively 58 and 52 cases. 5.3±4.7 years known duration of hypertension status was associated with overweight/obesity in 829 cases (73.7%), physical inactivity in 669 cases (59.5%), hypertension family history in 540 cases (48%), diabetes mellitus in 122 cases (10.8%), dyslipidemia in 82 cases (7.3%), smoking in 29 cases (2.6%). Echocardiographic test was abnormal in 590 cases (52.4%) and showed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 510 cases (45.2%), dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 46 cases (4.1%), dilated cardiomyopathy with systolic dysfunction in 31 cases (2.8%), coronary artery disease in 4 cases (0.4%). LVH was concentric in 470 cases (84.6%), eccentric in 70 cases (12.6%), and in 16 cases (3%), it was a concentric left ventricular remodeling. The left ventricular's systolic ejection fraction average was 70.5±9.3%, relaxation disorders in 480 cases (42.6%). Age, male gender, income, known duration of hypertension and treatment were predictive factors of LVH. CONCLUSIONS Echocardiographic profile of the Congolese hypertensive is quite various, left ventricular hypertrophy is the most predominant abnormality. Efficient management on the hypertension will lead to reduce its morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Secondary hypertension is relatively rare. Its etiologies are essentially renal or endocrine. The adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare malignant tumor, is one of the most exceptional causes of hypertension. We report the case of a young woman presenting with hypertension and ascites of great abundance. She had hypokalemia, hepatic cytolysis and cholestasis. Thoracic, abdominal and pelvic CT scans showed adrenal mass, liver and lung nodules, osteolytic lesions of the sacrum. The biopsy of liver nodules confirmed the diagnosis of a metastatic malignant adrenocortical carcinoma. The hormonal investigations revealed cortisol and testosterone hypersecretion. The evolution was quickly fatal, the patient passed out a few days after her hospitalization.

Abstract
Salt consumption has substantially increased these last years in our modern societies and far exceeds our needs. It has a great impact on cardiovascular and renal disease and represents a major issue in public health. The present work is a review of observational and interventional studies exploring the relationship between salt consumption, high-blood pressure and cardiovascular morbimortality in the general population but also in chronic kidney diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The evaluation of automated office blood pressure (AOBP) measurement compared to 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), Home BP measurement and manual BP. PATIENTS AND METHODOLOGY A total of 123 hypertensive patients were included. Overall, 68 completed the 4 measurement: Manual BP in the office (Omron 705 CP 3 measurements), ABPM (Spacelab of 96 measurement/per 24hours), Home BP (18 measurement during 3 days), AOBP using the SPRINT methodology: lying patient, isolated with an automatic measurement (Dinamap) every minutes during 8minutes (average of the last 3 measurement). Twenty-two out of 123 patients (26%) did not complete the Home BP measurement. RESULTS The average of AOBP measurement using SPRINT is 132±12/69±9mmHg, of ABPM 134±13/79±9, of Home BP: 135±13/70±13 and of manual BP: 138±13/72±11mmHg The Bland & Altman method highlight that the AOBP, the ABPM and home BP measurement are 3 substitutable methods. The confidence interval is smaller between the ABPM and the AOBP than with the home BP. CONCLUSION The automated office blood pressure, as the Home BP measurement, can be considered a reliable substitute for the ABPM, when the later is not accessible, and when a repeated therapeutic evaluation is needed, or when the home BP measurement is not done. These results encourage us to use it more frequently as the Canadian Hypertension Education Program recommend it.

Abstract
Cushing's syndrome is a rare cause of high blood pressure. The originally adrenal cause is found in 15% of cases. We describe the case of a patient with hypertension associated with paraparesis of the lower limbs revealing a Cushing syndrome due to a left adrenal adenoma. A 23-year-old man consults for a paraparesis of the lower limbs. The highlighting of an arterial high blood pressure led to the realization of complementary examinations. Computed tomography of the abdomen shows a left adrenal mass. Chirurgical excision of the mass was performed and histological examination concluded with adrenal adenoma. After intervention, the patient normalized his blood pressure with 3 years of follow up. This case illustrates a form of endocrine hypertension of adrenal origin and the need for a careful clinical examination during the discovery of hypertension in the young subject in order to carry out adequate balance sheets to search for a curable cause of secondary hypertension.

Abstract
A 31-year-old patient was followed for cystinuria, justifying CT scans. In 2006, a tissue mass of 3cm of the right adrenal gland, homogeneous, measured at 3.5cm in 2007 was noted. Blood pressure was 90/61mmHg, without orthostatic hypotension. During the clinical interview, no discomfort, sweat attack, headache, or palpitation was reported by the patient. Hormonal assays did not favor a primary hyperaldosteronism, or a hypercortisolism. Adrenal androgens were normal. 24h normetanephrines urinary excretion and metanephrines to creatinine ratio were elevated. One year later, the patient remained asymptomatic and normotensive. Plasma levels of normetanephrine and metanephrine were increased and highly pathological. The tumor was 5cm long and fixed individually on MIBG scintigraphy and PET scan. Right adrenalectomy was performed. A pheochromocytoma was confirmed histologically. The peculiarity here was the absence of symptoms, especially arterial hypertension. This currently affects up to 47% of cases, particularly in the context of incidentaloma investigations and family screening. Indeed, 35 to 40% of pheochromocytomas are associated with a germline mutation, justifying a genetic analysis in this patient. Genetic analysis did not show any mutation associated with pheochromocytoma. At a 6-year interval pheochromocytoma did not reappeared while BP increased reaching hypertension threshold. The only documented recurrence was lithiasis.

Abstract
AIM Due to its high sensitivity, qualitative plasma drug screening by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry may not be able to distinguish same-day drug intake from drug use on preceding days and cause misclassifications of drug adherence in hypertensive patients. Analysis of plasma drug concentrations may provide more accurate results. PATIENTS AND METHODS We describe dose-dependent indexing of plasma drug concentrations for expected peak concentrations to define individual screening thresholds for same-day drug use. To explore its utility, plasma samples from 9 hypertensive patients without major comorbidity were prospectively analyzed on two occasions. All were on hydrochlorothiazide with either amlodipine (n=7) and/or valsartan (n=6) at different doses. Drugs were quantitated by mass spectrometry. Non-adherence was defined if an indexed drug concentration was below the expected trough level at 24-hour dosing interval. RESULTS All patients were adherent by qualitative plasma screening (spectrometric sensitivity). On the first visit (random sampling time), mean plasma concentrations of the drugs were 102±70, 15.4±6.7 and 2529±1608ng/mL, and mean indexes 84±57%, 85±35% and 60±38%, respectively. Using the study criterion, non-adherence was suspected in three. Intraindividual cross-checking retained two. On the second visit (fixed sampling time), amlodipine concentration was 15.6±8.5ng/mL (88±52% after indexing). Two patients were non-adherent according to the study criterion. CONCLUSION Indexing of plasma drug concentrations appears practicable and useful for drug adherence screening under clinical conditions. With this technique, same-day drug intake can be easily distinguished which reduces the risk of false positive results associated with qualitative drug screening.

Abstract
UNLABELLED High blood pressure (HTA) is a public health problem. It affects more than one billion people around the world, more than a quarter of the world's population. In recent years the ABPM (Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurement) has become a valuable and widely used tool for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. The aims of this study were to determine the indications of MAPA to the cardiology department of Aristide le Dantec Hospital; to determine the results and to evaluate the blood pressure profile of our patients. METHODS We carried out a retrospective study, over 37 months from December 2010 to December 2013 covering all the results of the ABPMs recorded during this period. Was included any patient over 18 years of age with an ABPM. All ABPMs with less than 50 good measures per 24 hours were not included. RESULTS A total of 204 MAPA results were included of a total of 307. The mean age was 49.6 ± 11.5 years with extremes of 25 years and 78 years. The sex ratio was 1.5 in favour of women. Indications were dominated by labile HTA (34.8%); masked HTA (27.9%) and suspicious of the white coat effect (12.3%). The analysis of the results showed that MAPA was normal in 49.5%. The white coat effect was found in 32% (65 patients) of ABPM. In patients with abnormal ABPM, permanent systolic-diastolic hypertension predominated (57%). HTA masked was noted in 25.7% of our patients and HTA white coat was found in 3.8% of cases. In the hypertensive patients treated, MAPA revealed a poor blood pressure balance in 42.1%. Among the HTA prognostic factors we noted32.4% of patients were "Non Dippers", a pulse pressure greater than or equal to 60 mmHg in 59%. CONCLUSION The use of this exploration is an important aid to practitioners in the diagnostic, therapeutic and prognosis phase of the management of hypertension. It should become more important as it provides better information on the blood pressure profile for the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to measure the monitoring and the incidence of renovascular effects of angiogenesis inhibitors in real population. METHOD Are included in this descriptive, monocentric, practical study, patients of 18 years old and more, orally treated by angiogenesis inhibitors and monitored in consultation by clinician nurses. The main interest variable is the incidence of hypertension at three months of treatment. RESULTS From January, 2011 to July, 2014, 324 patients have been included, whose 53% are men. Mean age is 62±13 years old. Antecedents are: 37% of hypertension, 17% of chronic renal insufficiency, 21% of nephrectomy, 13% of diabetes. Most frequent cancers are kidney (31%), liver (23%) and breast (16%). Most used molecules are: sorafenib (30%), sunitinib (23%) and everolimus (16%). Blood pressure has been measured at the beginning of the treatment in 157 patients (48%). Among them, during the first three months of treatment, 55 (35%) present hypertension according to the oncological definition and 59 (38%) according to the classical definition; 30 patients (19%) are considered as hypertensive according to only one of the two definitions. In multivariable analysis, variables significantly associated with hypertension are: age (OR=1.04; 95% CI 1.02-1.08; P<0.01) and antecedent of nephrectomy (OR=4.29; 95%CI 1.86-9.92; P<0.01). CONCLUSION In this cohort, only 48% of the patients had blood pressure determination before treatment. Hypertension under angiogenesis inhibitors is probably underestimated. Age and antecedent of nephrectomy seem to be correlated with the occurrence of hypertension.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vascular calcifications are associated with several diseases that affect vascular connective tissue and skin and cause considerable morbidity and mortality. The prototype of these conditions is pseudoxanthoma elasticum. We report, in this study, 4 pediatric cases of vascular calcifications diagnosed as elastic pseudoxanthoma. OBSERVATIONS These 4 children were 2-11 years old and presented variable clinical features. Vascular involvement and arterial hypertension was observed in all patients, skin involvement in 2 cases, gastrointestinal involvement in 2 cases, neurological impairment in one case, and cardiac involvement in one case. Demonstration of ABCC6 gene mutations provided diagnostic confirmation in all cases. CONCLUSION Pseudoxanthoma elasticum is a rare genetic disease, which can lead to many complications. Appropriate knowledge and early diagnosis are essential.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a prevalent disease characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of upper airway during sleep. Untreated moderate to severe OSAHS is recognized as a cardiovascular (CV) risk factor. Data from the Pays de la Loire sleep cohort and other clinic- or population-based cohorts demonstrate a strong association between OSAHS and the different components of the metabolic syndrome including systemic hypertension, diabetes and impaired lipid metabolism. Beside sleep-disordered breathing severity, these factors contribute to increase the risk of CV events in OSAHS patients. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy of OSAHS is associated with a modest but clinically significant blood pressure reduction. Conversely, there is no clear evidence in support of a metabolic impact of CPAP in OSAHS patients. Considering the multifactorial pathophysiology of CV risk in OSAHS patients and the beneficial impact of various lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions on blood pressure and metabolic dysfunction, combined modality therapy is a promising strategy to improve CV outcomes in individuals with OSAHS.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the compliance for antihypertensive treatment and to assess the effects of patient education as tool to improve the compliance in hypertensive patients. METHODS We include prospectively all hypertensive patients followed in consultation in the cardiology department of the national police hospital in Ivory Coast. Compliance evaluation was made with the Girerd scale. After evaluation, all the patients benefit from an individual and/or collective education sessions. All the patients were followed and reevaluated after 1 year. RESULTS We included consecutive 1000 hypertensive patients (mean age 40±20 years, 80 % male). Among these, 50 % have been treated by a single therapy, 30 % by a fixed double therapy and 25 % by a fixed triple combined therapy. At the start of the study, a low compliance is observed in 60 % of patients, 25 % have minimal problems of observance and 15 % are compliant. In 70 %, the low compliance may be explained by misconceptions and is associated with a persistent hypertension. One year after the education program, the compliance is improved: non-compliant patients represent 5 % of the population, 10 % having slight problems on compliance and 85 % have a good compliance. CONCLUSION In hypertension, the therapeutic compliance is poor, and associated with various factors. However, patient education improves the therapeutic compliance and this should be systematically proposed in antihypertensive management in Africa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Detailed analysis of layer-specific mechanical changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) might improve insight into left ventricular (LV) remodelling and diabetic cardiomyopathy. AIM We sought to investigate layer-specific LV deformation in patients with DM, with and without hypertension. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 146 subjects (44 controls; 48 patients with DM; 54 patients with DM and hypertension) who underwent complete examination by two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE), including multilayer strain analysis. RESULTS 2DE LV longitudinal and circumferential strains deteriorated progressively and significantly from controls, through patients with DM, to patients with DM and hypertension. 2DE radial strain was lower in patients with DM and hypertension than in controls. 2DE longitudinal and circumferential mid-myocardial and epicardial layer strains decreased progressively from controls to patients with DM and hypertension, whereas endocardial layer strain was lower in patients with DM and patients with DM and hypertension than in controls. Variables of DM control (fasting glucose and glycated haemoglobin) were associated with 2DE LV longitudinal and circumferential layer-specific strains, independent of age, body mass index, blood pressure, LV diastolic function and hypertrophy in patients with DM. CONCLUSION DM and hypertension significantly affect LV deformation assessed by 2DE traditional strain and 2DE multilayer strain. Hypertension showed an additional negative effect on LV deformation in patients with DM. Fasting glucose and glycated haemoglobin were associated with LV mechanics evaluated by comprehensive 2DE strain analysis, independent of LV structure and diastolic function.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the prevalence of exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and its association with cardiovascular disease in patients scheduled for cataract surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a retrospective, single center, descriptive study of 260 patients admitted to a tertiary teaching hospital in Rabat, Morocco, between January 2015 and March 2016 and scheduled for cataract surgery. All patients had a preoperative cardiovascular exam, an electrocardiogram and, if needed, echocardiography. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results with a P-value<0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS This study included 246 patients: 146 women (59.3 %) and 100 men (40.7 %). The mean age (years) was 67.6±10.1. The percentage of XFS increased with age (P=0.02). Sixty-two percent of patients with cardiovascular disease also had exfoliation syndrome (P<0.001). Patients with XFS had hypertension in 46.5 % of cases. 14 subjects (19.7 %) had ischemic heart disease and XFS. Using multivariate logistic regression and after adjusting for age, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease and arrhythmias, smoking was the only factor associated with exfoliation syndrome (P=0.01, odds ratio=5.2, confidence interval 95 %=1.35-20.15). CONCLUSION Exfoliation syndrome is a common condition in the aging cataract population. Ischemic heart disease and hypertension are frequently associated with XFS. Smoking could be another factor associated with this syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY In epidemiological studies, recall of weight and height are not readily available at different ages of life. In order to improve the knowledge of the weight history, Sörensen et al. in 1983, developed a tool from silhouettes allowing an individual to evaluate his corpulence at different ages of life. Validity studies showed that measured weight and size were correlated to 80% in the reported silhouette. Studies have also shown that silhouettes are a good way to trace the weight history in an individual's life. Very few epidemiological studies have used this tool. A French study revealed a decrease of the risk of breast cancer in obese girls between the age of 8 and adolescence. Another study showed that a low birth weight or a thin silhouette before adulthood was associated with an increased risk of diabetes. On the basis of these findings, it was interesting to evaluate the relationship between the silhouette at 20years and the risk of hypertension at the age of 60years. RESULTS It was shown that the prevalence of hypertension at age 60 was higher among obese subjects at 20years than among thin subjects (45.3% vs 36.7% (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The classification between slimness and obesity is relevant using this tool. The history of corpulence is an important element to consider in the determinants of pathology, especially in hypertension.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The dysautonomic (DC) or neurovegetative crisis remains an imperfectly known entity; it associates in a paroxysmal manner a reaction of sympathetic hyperreactivity that can lead to the prognosis. Our objective is to specify the etiological circumstances (DC) and their modality of treatment in pediatric intensive care unit. MATERIALS-METHODS Descriptive study on files of children admitted in the intensive care unit of 2010-2015 who presented a DC acquired during their hospitalization. RESULTS In total, 41 patients included with an average age of 56.92 months presented DC. Among the etiological circumstances Guillain-Barré syndrome and head trauma are noted. Observed symptoms occur on average at one week of admission; they are related to the consequences of DC. The manifestations are polymorphic: a systolic hypertension is present in all cases with an average PAS of 141.24±13.48mmHg, an average PAD of 86.80±11.01mmHg, a vasomotor disorder, a hyperthermia are noted. Cerebral anoxia post cardiac arrest in 4 patients preceded the onset of DC. Apart from the etiologic treatment, 39 patients were intubated with mechanical ventilation, sedated with morphinomimetic and benzodiazepine±lioresal (baclofen). Treatment of hypertension resulted in the administration of a central antihypertensive. Evolution is good in addition to 5 deaths related to neurovegetative disorders. CONCLUSION DC is a poorly understood situation in pediatric intensive care unit, and the circumstances of the disease are variable. The diagnosis must be made with careful consideration because the prognosis may be fatal.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY We aimed to determine the prevalence of orthostatic hypertension (OHT) in normotensive, newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics, to assess clinical, biological characteristics of those patients and evaluate the evolution of their blood pressure, after one year of follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS It is an observational, prospective, cohort study, on 108 normotensive, newly diagnosed diabetics, 40 men and 68 women aged from 40 to 70 ans. OHT was defined as an increase of systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥20mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥10mmHg, after 1 and 2min of standing from supine position. Arterial hypertension and metabolic syndrome were respectively defined according to WHO and AHA 2009 guidelines. Clinical and biological data were collected for all patients. They had a screening for diabetic complications and a follow-up during one year. Statistical analysis was performed with Epi-Info 6.04. RESULTS We found OHT in 22 patients (20.4%). Patients with OHT had a higher SBP at lying position (P=0.029), a higher waist circumference (P=0.022) and LDL (P=0.041). They had more frequently obesity (P=0.036) left ventricular hypertrophy (P=0.024), metabolic syndrome (P=0.042) and cerebrovascular events (P=0.050) when compared with those with normal blood pressure response to orthostasis. One year after follow-up, the prevalence of permanent hypertension was significantly higher in the OHT group (P=0.0008). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that OHT is associated with insulin resistance syndrome and onset of sustained arterial hypertension in normotensive, newly diagnosed diabetics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the determinants of non-compliance with antihypertensive treatments among participants in the FLAHS 2015 survey and to develop a risk calculator for drug compliance in a hypertensive population. METHODS The FLAHS surveys are carried out by self-questionnaire sent by mail to individuals from the TNS SOFRES (representative panel of the population living in metropolitan France) sampling frame. In 2015, FLAHS was performed in subjects aged 55years and older. Using the Girerd questionnaire, the "perfect observance" was determined for a score of 0 and "nonobservance" for a score of 1 or higher. A Poisson regression was conducted in univariate and multivariate to estimate risk ratios for each determinant. A non-compliance risk calculator is constructed from multivariate analysis. A Poisson regression was performed in univariate and multivariate to estimate risk ratios. For each sex, a probability table is produced from the equation of the multivariate analysis and then the calculation of a nonobservance probability ratio (PR) using the profile with the best probability as a reference. Each subject is then classified into one of the three classes of risk of non-compliance: low (PR <1.5), high (PR>=2) and intermediate (PR>=1.5 and <2). RESULTS The survey included 6379 subjects and analysis based on 2370 treated hypertensives. The onset of treatment was less than 2years in 7% of subjects and the median follow-up duration of treatment was 10years. Perfect compliance was observed in 64% of subjects. Independent determinants of non-compliance are: male sex, young age, number of antihypertensive tablet, treatment for a metabolic disease (diabetes, dyslipidemia), presence of other chronic illness, secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. To get the risk class of nonobservance a web page is available at http://www.comitehta.org/flahs-observance-hta/. CONCLUSION The development of the FLAHS Compliance Test is a tool whose use is possible during an office visit. Its free availability for French doctor will be one of the actions undertaken as part of the "call for action for adherence in hypertension" proposed by the French League Against Hypertension in 2017.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy according to electrocardiographic and echocardiographic criteria among hypertensive patients living in semi-rural Senegalese area. PATIENTS AND METHODS According to the World Health Organization STEPSwise approach, we conducted, in November 2012, a cross-sectional and exhaustive study in the population aged at least 35 years old and living for at least six months in the semi-rural area of Guéoul. We researched electrocardiographic and echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive subjects. Data were analyzed with SPSS 18.0 software version. The significance level was agreed for a value of P<0.05. RESULTS We examined 1411 subjects aged on average of 48.5±12.7 years. In total, 654 subjects were hypertensive and screening of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was effective in 515 of them. According to Sokolow-Lyon index, 86 subjects (16.7%) presented electrocardiographic LVH, more frequently in men (P=0.002). According to Cornell index and Cornell product, LVH was founded respectively in 66 (12.8%) and 52 subjects (10.1%), more frequently in female (P=0.0001; P=0.004). It was more common in grade 3 of hypertension however criteria. In echocardiography, prevalence of LVH was 2.2% (13 cases) according to the left ventricular mass, 9.3% (48 cases) according to the left ventricular mass indexed to body surface area and 8.2% (42 cases) according to the left ventricular mass indexed to height2.7. LVH was significantly correlated with the electrocardiographic LVH according to Sokolow-Lyon index (P<0.0001) and the grade 3 of hypertension (P=0.003). CONCLUSION Although rare in hypertensive Senegalese living in semi-rural area, left ventricular hypertrophy is correlated with severity of grade of hypertension. Screening by electrocardiogram will allow better follow-up of these hypertensive subjects.

Abstract
Hypertension is the most important preventable cause of heart disease and stroke worldwide. More than 1 in 5 adults worldwide have raised blood pressure - a condition that causes around half of all deaths from stroke and heart disease. Complications from hypertension account for 9.4 million deaths worldwide every year. During the last decade, the association between blood pressure reduction from above-normal initial values and cardiovascular-risk has been documented in a large number of randomized trials. However, recent results from the SPRINT study could challenge current therapeutic strategies. This article is a literature review about the relationship between hypertension and coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Endovascular revascularization as treatment of atherosclerotic renal-artery stenosis (aRAS) is controversial since 3 large and multicentric randomised trials (CORAL, ASTRAL, STAR) failed to prove the superiority of percutaneous transluminal renal-artery stenting (PTRAS) over medical treatment only (MT). However, considering the multiple bias of these trials, among which questionable inclusion criterias, these results must be extrapolated in clinical practice with caution. New pathophysiological data have been helping to understand why restoring blood flow does not necessarily lead to kidney function improvement. Today, the diagnostic approach must in one hand confirm the artery stenosis and on the other hand assess its severity and impact on the kidney. Therapeutic options still lie on the American guidelines published in 2006, since no study data can be reasonably used in everyday practice. However, particular sub-groups of patients who could benefit from revascularisation have been identified through recent cohort studies. Further prospective studies are needed in order to confirm the superiority of PTRAS in these populations. Meanwhile, multidisciplinary approach should be promoted, in order to provide the best treatment for each patient.
