Abstract

Cardiovascular disease remains the largest contributor to morbidity and mortality in developed countries (1). Advances in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease in the last 40 years resulted in an approximate 40% decline in cardiovascular disease mortality (1). Despite this remarkable success, it is sobering to note that this decline appears to have abated in recent years (2), paradoxically despite continued improvement in risk factor modification (3).
