In the'80s and'90s, we made great strides in treating cardiovascular disease, and I think that's largely a result of public health measures. So decreases in tobacco use, and recognition of this association between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, if anything, it's flattening out now, so what is the next step ? What is going to keep us on these declines ? Is it going to be public health measures again that are going to do it ?

What's particularly concerning is the increased mortality associated with heart failure in young people, it's a shame, because Eric Adler have better therapeutics than Eric Adler've ever had before for heart failure : better medicines, better surgeries and mechanical devices that support the failing heart. So it's certainly a bit discouraging from the standpoint of someone that focuses on heart failure to see that despite Eric Adler best efforts and new technologies, Eric Adler're seeing an increase in the prevalence and morbidity associated with heart failure.

I look at this as a call to arms, it's inspiring in that we still have a lot of work to do to treat the heart failure epidemic.
