EDITOR'S CHOICE (HOT TOPICS)
Dear Colleague,
This issue of the CVJAfrica contains
unique contributions from both South Africa and Morocco,
countries at the southern and northern tips of our vast
continent, respectively, and is supplemented with an
echocardiographic study of the right ventricular systolic
function from Nigerian patients with hypertensive heart disease.
Contributions that provide further interesting reading from
further afield are on diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart
failure, from the USA, and use of transoesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) to encourage atrial fibrillation patients
to use anti-coagulation therapy, from Kosovo.
- The editorial and research article on the
Sympathetic Activation and Ambulatory Blood Pressure study (SABPA)
in urban black South Africans adds another dimension to our
understanding of man’s adaptation to psychosocial stress.

- i-SEARCH had a focus on Morocco. Morocco contributed
almost 500 patients to this global survey on
microalbuminuria, providing useful insights on the lack of
attention to microalbuminuria and the use of appropriate
angiotensin receptor blockers.
