2021 Congres

The SOCARB days have become a major activity in the animation of scientific activities in Burkina. Over the years, the days have acquired a maturity. These seventh days are an important turning point in Burkina Faso with the inclusion of cardiovascular diseases in cardiovascular diseases in the national programmes and a particular environment marked by marked by the COVID-19 infection. For this edition, nearly 1500 participants (cardiologists, internists, teachers, researchers, medical students, health professionals health professionals, NGOs, pharmaceutical companies and technical and financial partners in health) from Africa, Europe and elsewhere are expected. Thus, for three (03) days, scientific scientific communications, round tables, thematic conferences, symposia, training sessions symposia, continuing education sessions and exhibitions are on the menu of these days. days.

From 27 to 29 October 2021, the 7th SOCARB Days will be held in Bobo Dioulasso under the very high patronage of His Excellency the President of Faso and the co4 of the Minister of Health and the Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation.

The management of cardiovascular diseases is a permanent concern of our authorities through the establishment of authorities through the establishment of the Directorate for the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable non-transmissible diseases. In addition, the infectious component of cardiovascular diseases remains a concern in concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Indeed, pericarditis, myocarditis and endocarditis remain frequent due, in part, to the persistence of HIV infection and infection and tuberculosis. Certain cardiovascular diseases such as valvulopathy are often the consequence of infections. consequence of infections. The management of these may require recourse to cardiovascular surgery. cardiovascular surgery. In recent years, the re-emergence of certain infectious diseases such as dengue fever, with multiple and severe cardiovascular injuries is contributing to the increased burden of cardiovascular cardiovascular diseases. For almost two years, COVID 19 disease, with its cardiovascular effects cardio-vascular damage, has been of interest to cardiologists for almost two years. This infection has led to This infection has led to a change in cardiological practice due to its mode of transmission. transmission.
