The importance of heart and artery disease as a cause of death and
disability is difficult to exaggerate: it causes over half of all
deaths in the western world and now accounts for one-quarter of
deaths in the entire world. This appalling incidence persists in
spite of commendable progress in treatment and prevention,
particularly in the last two or three decades. Deaths from coronary
disease have decreased by a third in the past twenty years and
stroke has decreased by a half in the same period. This remarkable
improvement, saving thousands of lives per year, has come about due
to changes in life style (low fat diet, control of high blood
pressure, less smoking and more exercise) and progress in treatment
(more effective drugs, coronary care units, pacemakers, and cardiac
surgery). Progress in understanding the pathophysiologic and
pharn,acologic mechanisms operative in heart disease have been
paramount in the development of more rational and more effective
therapy. Dramatic and spectacular surgical treatments have fired
the public imagination. Bypass surgery is commonplace and results
in complete or considerable relief of symptoms in the majority of
patients operated upon.
