Abstract

Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems Cardiovascular System & Cardiology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology
Heart failure is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world, with over 5 million people afflicted in the U. S. alone (1). From 30% to 40% of patients die within the first year after receiving the diagnosis of heart failure (1). Further, heart failure consumes a significant amount of resources, and this is only likely to increase as the population ages.

Development of successful therapeutic strategies is predicated on a clear understanding of the pathophysiology of heart failure. Although heart failure is a diverse group of diseases with numerous etiologies, one common.
