Study of arterial pressure levels at consultation in treated hypertensive Algerian patients
CONCLUSION: PACT II has made it possible to update national data relating to hypertension in Algeria. It confirmed the low level of achievement of the BP target, even if the average arterial pressure level obtained was acceptable in 76% patients with a BP level which was lower than 140 mmHg for SBP and less than 90 mmHg for DBP. Many efforts must be made, according to WHO recommendations, to improve the management of hypertensive patients and BP control in Algeria.PMID:37536041 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2023.101631

Isolation of Antimicrobial Compounds From Cnestis ferruginea Vahl ex. DC (Connaraceae) Leaves Through Bioassay-Guided Fractionation
Conclusion In conclusion, aqueous extracts of C. ferruginea leaves showed antimicrobial activity due to the presence of hydroquinone and caffeic acid methyl ester. This supports its traditional use for infections and confirmed that the active molecules are water-soluble. Author Contributions KK, SP, LVP, and WL conceived and designed the experiments. SP, KK, M-RY, and J-GL performed the experiments. SP, LVP, WL, M-RY, J-GL, and Z-HJ analyzed the data. WL and Z-HJ contributed reagents, materials, and analysis tools. KK, SP, WL, M-RY, Z-HJ, and LVP contributed to the writing of the manuscript. All authors contributed to m...

Economic burden of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications in non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Algeria.
CONCLUSION: The economic burden of NVAF is important in Algeria, largely driven by untreated and INR-uncontrolled patients. There is a lack of information on the Algerian healthcare system that could increase uncertainty around this assessment, but it clearly establishes the importance of NVAF as a public health concern.

The characteristics of arterial hypertension in postmenopausal women in the area of Blida (Algeria).
CONCLUSIONS: The systolic blood pressure is more important than the diastolic blood pressure in postmenopausal women. The cerebral vascular accident remains the most feared complication. The control of hypertension remains not enough and the balance of arterial pressure figures is highly recommended to avoid morbidity and fatal complications.

Feasibility Survey on Outpatient Management of Hypertension In Algeria
Hypertension (HT) is a prevalent condition, contributing risk factor to heart failure, heart attack and stroke. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is important for improving the diagnosis and management of HT as recommended by the guidelines published by the NICE in the UK in 2011. However there is a lack of data on the follow up of theses guidelines in the Maghreb countries. We aimed in this survey to assess the management of HT and usage of ABPM in daily practices in Algeria.

The metabolic syndrome in hypertensive black population of South Algeria.
CONCLUSION: The MS is highly prevailing among hypertensive black population, and significantly higher among women. The ranking of the cluster elements frequency shows clearly the specifities of our population. It is necessary to elaborate an adequate strategy to prevent such cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. PMID: 26044305 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism and cerebral stroke.
Conclusions: The distribution of allelic frequencies of apolipoprotein E in the population of Constantine is similar to that of Southern Europe. Our results imply a role of the genotype of apolipoprotein E (ɛ4 allele) in the pathogenesis of stroke and are limited to the accidents of the ischemic type. The ɛ2 allele does not appear to be implied in occurred of this affection; however, large additional studies are necessary to confirm this result. PMID: 23396426 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
