Peculiarities of hypertension treatment in a particular black population: Moroccan black people

Introduction

Historically, the Moroccan black population is heterogeneous, originating from Arab and sub-Saharan immigration, and Amazigh, an indigenous population. This study, first of its kind, allows to determine the peculiarities of hypertension in this population, in particular the response to the different therapeutic classes, which makes it possible to compare the results found with those of the studies carried out on the sub-Saharan or American black population.

Materials and methods:

This is a transverse prospective analytic study of Black Moroccan patients explored in the cardiology consultation center at the Mohamed V Military Hospital of Rabat, over a 12-month period from June 2018 to June 2019 with a total of 50 patients.
