Abstrakt: A lot of european authors demonstrate that echocardiography is the best examination to objective cardiac localizations in rhumatoïd arthritis (RA). Leleu, in a recent publication thinks that the rarity of systemic localizations during RA in Africans is characteristic. The authors examine the last 15 patients. They never find cardiac involvement and this seems to confirm the clinical impression about 50 previous cases.
