Abstract
The common perception that the population of Southern Africa has a low incidence of vascular disease has resulted in the management of these diseases often being given a low priority. With recent improved access to health care services being made available to the often very poor and at times remote populations in this region it has however become clear that this perception is not correct. The subcontinent is also home to multiple diseases and vascular risk factors such as HIV and increasing levels of diabetes mellitus which will in the future result in a dramatic increase in the number of people that will be afflicted with vascular pathologies.
