title: [Report of 60 cases of coronary insufficiency in black Africans (author's transl)].
abstract: The author reports and comments 60 cases of coronary insufficiency observed during 36 months in the hospital of Saint-Louis (Senegal). When compared to previously published data, the frequency observed in Saint-Louis presents an unusual high level. All patients are from the well-off class. No explanation is advanced of this high frequency. Patients often report to the hospital quite a long time after on-set of the disease or after the myocardial infarction. This delay often causes diagnostic problems.
