Abstract
DESPITE THE dramatic decline in mortality from coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in the US population, mortality from congestive heart failure (CHF) has been increasing for several decades.1,2 Approximately 4.7 million Americans have CHF and 47 000 die of CHF in the United States each year.1 The identification of modifiable risk factors for CHF, which provided a basis for intervention strategies, has become an important challenge for public health and clinical medicine.3Keywords
