Mechanisms underlying heart failure [PDF]
Drug Discovery Today: Disease Mechanisms, 2010 Heart failure is a syndrome with high mortality and morbidity where cardiac function is inadequate to meet metabolic needs of the body. Heart failure is now one of the greatest public health problems for the developed world. Approximately 500,000 new patients are diagnosed with heart failure in the United States each year.
