Lomé Hosts National Cardiology Congress to Fight Heart Disease

(Togo First) - Lomé is hosting the 2nd National Congress of the Togolese Cardiology Society (SOCART) on June 12 and 13, 2025. Nearly 150 experts are attending the event to tackle two deadly conditions: hypertension and venous thromboembolic disease.

These diseases rank among the deadliest in Togo. The congress aims to sharpen doctors’ skills and update treatment methods.

The event will feature roundtables, hands-on sessions, and pharmaceutical symposiums. Experts will focus on ways to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Key topics will include emergency ECG interpretation, defibrillator use, and the latest European guidelines on hypertension. The congress will spotlight vulnerable groups like pregnant women, seniors, HIV patients, and those with kidney problems.
