Introduction: Sickle cell disease is a genetic disease that affects nearly 5% of the world's population and is particularly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. The inaccessibility of modern treatment has led to the development of a phytomedicine called FACA® in Burkina Faso. It is formulated in capsule form and contains a mixture of powdered root(...)

Abstract
Introduction: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the earliest and most common complication during hypertension. It is also a powerful predictor of
cardiovascular risk. In current practice, electrocardiography (ECG), and Doppler echocardiography are the tools used for the diagnosis of LVH during arterial
hypertension.
