Primary care in the prevention, treatment and control of cardiovascular disease in sub-Saharan Africa.
We present a practical approach on how primary care in sub-Saharan Africa could effectively address the prevention, treatment and control of CVD on the subcontinent. For effective prevention, control and treatment of CVD in sub-Saharan Africa, there should be strategic plans to equip primary care clinics with well-trained allied healthcare workers who are supervised by physicians.

Addressing the burden of epilepsy: Many unmet needs
Publication date: Available online 4 March 2016 Source:Pharmacological Research Author(s): Ettore Beghi Epilepsy is a heterogeneous clinical condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures, their causes and complications. The incidence, prevalence and mortality of epilepsy vary with age, place and time contributing to a variable extent to the burden of the disease. Diagnostic misclassification may have strong impact on personal and societal reflections of the disease in light of its clinical manifestations and the need for chronic treatment.

Understanding Population Cardiovascular Health: Harnessing the Power of Electronic Health Records.
Abstract In 2004 the American Heart Association (AHA) set forth an ambitious strategic goal for 2010 to 1) reduce death from coronary heart disease and stroke by 25%, 2) reduce the prevalence of smoking, high cholesterol, uncontrolled hypertension, and physical inactivity by 25%, and 3) to stop increases in obesity and diabetes relative to rates in 1999. Having achieved or exceeded goals 1 and 2 by 2008 through a number of collaborative efforts, including public education, practice guidelines and quality improvement initiatives, in 2009, the AHA reframed its focus more broadly to one of achieving increased levels ...

World Stroke Organization Global Stroke Services Guidelines and Action Plan
Every two seconds, someone across the globe suffers a symptomatic stroke. ‘Silent’ cerebrovascular disease insidiously contributes to worldwide disability by causing cognitive impairment in the elderly. The risk of cerebrovascular disease is disproportionately higher in low to middle income countries where there may be barriers to stroke care. The last two decades have seen a major transformation in the stroke field with the emergence of evidence‐based approaches to stroke prevention, acute stroke management, and stroke recovery. The current challenge lies in implementing these interventions, particularly in regions ...
