title: [Arterial hypertension and diabetes in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)].
abstract: We report a 3 year survey concerning diabetes associated with hypertension in 260 diabetic patients at Ouagadougou. This association has been found in 29% of the cases. The patients were male subjects for 57% of them and seventy one more 50 years old. Other vascular risk factors have been observed: obesity (53%), smoking (15%), hyperuricemia (23%). Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia were observed respectively in 1% and 1.3% of the cases. Many complications arised during the survey: retinopathy in 51% of the patients, nephropathy for 35% and 12% with renal failure, macroangiopathy in 55% of the patients. The treatment was based on diuretics and calcic inhibitors. The results on the control of blood pressure were excellent but the high cost of this management is an important restrictive factor.
