According to the World Health Report (2000 http:/ /www. who.
int/whr), of the 55 million deaths worldwide in 1999, more than 16
million were secondary to car diovascular complications. With the
prospect of world population increasing from the current level of 6
billion to 9 billion by the middle of this century, the burden of
cardiac disease is going to increase astronomically. Furthermore,
scientists are being challenged not only to reduce mortality, but
also to improve quality of life. Thus, more than ever,
intellectuals from different disciplines including biology,
sociology, informatics and health care have to join forces to meet
the mandate. The World Heart Congress with a focus on "Frontiers in
Cardiovascular Health" held in Winnipeg during July 6-11, 2001,
made a unique attempt to bring these specialists together to
brainstorm and map out the course of action for cardiovascular
research and health in the next century. Anytime there is a
relative increase in the workload on the heart, there are adap tive
myocardial as well as humoral responses. When these adaptations or
remodel ing at the organ, subcellular or gene level, become
inadequate for a proper tissue perfusion, the condition of heart
failure ensues. Prevention of the factors leading to the relative
increase in workload as well as a better understanding of the adap
tive responses and their failure are some of the hopes to combat
the morbidity and mortality due to heart failure.
