Roadmap to Achieve 25% Hypertension Control in Africa by 2025
ConclusionsHypertension affects millions of people in SSA and if left untreated, is a major cause of heart disease and stroke. Very few SSA countries have a clear hypertension policy. This PASCAR roadmap identifies practical and effective solutions that would improve detection, treatment and control of hypertension on the continent and could be implemented as is or adapted to specific national settings.

Worsening of the Cardiovascular Profile in a Developing Country: The Greater Beirut Area Cardiovascular Cohort
ConclusionsThe overall prevalence of CVD risk factors in this urban population is higher than reported in the 2010 World Health Organization Stepwise Approach to Surveillance report on the Lebanese population, indicating that the urban population in the capital carries a higher burden of CVD risk. In addition, sex and age difference rates of CVD risk factors highlight the need for tailored public health measures to tackle the sex- and age-based CVD risk factors. (Source: Global Heart)

Noncommunicable Diseases in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Strategic Approach to Develop a Global Implementation Research Workforce
Publication date: Available online 30 June 2018Source: Global HeartAuthor(s): Michael M. Engelgau, Joshua P. Rosenthal, Bradley J. Newsome, LeShawndra Price, Deshiree Belis, George A. MensahAbstractGlobally, most of the burden from noncommunicable disease is now evident in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). At the same time, many effective noncommunicable disease interventions are now available and recommended for implementation and scale-up across LMIC health systems—yet are not being widely implemented. Understanding optimal and sustainable implementation strategies for these interventions within the LMIC contex...
