<p>The Joint European Societies - European Society of Cardiology, European Atherosclerosis Society and European Society of Hypertension - 1998 recommendations on prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) in clinical practice set priorities and goals. The top priority is patients with established CHD, or other atherosclerotic disease, because they are already under the care of cardiologists and are at high risk of further morbidity and mortality. The lifestyle goals are to stop smoking, make healthy food choices and be active physically. The risk factor goals are a BP &lt; 140/90 mmHg, total cholesterol &lt; 5.0 mmol/l (190 mg/dl) and LDL-cholesterol &lt; 3.0 mmol/l (115 mg/dl). The appropriate use of prophylactic drug therapies - aspirin, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, lipid modification therapies and anticoagulants - is also a recommended goal. The final goal is to screen relatives of patients with premature CHID (men &lt; 55 years and women &lt; 65 years). Surveys of clinical practice such as EUROASPIRE (European Action on Secondary Prevention) have shown risk can be further reduced in patients with established CHD because many are not achieving these lifestyle and risk factor goals. So there is considerable potential to raise the standard of preventive care for coronary patients through more effective lifestyle intervention and the use of drug therapies with proven efficacy. For the patient, this will mean a longer life with better quality. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.</p>

Most cases of heart failure (HF) are due to abnormal left ventricular (LV) systolic function. If systolic function is normal (NSF), the cause of HF may be due to diastolic dysfunction. We reviewed cases in a population based study of HF to identify those with NSF. All incident cases of HF in a large district of SE London (population 292,000) were identified by surveillance of hospital admissions and through a Rapid Access Heart Failure Clinic to which GPs referred all suspected new cases of HF. The definition of HF, based on the European Society of Cardiology guidelines, was that a case should have symptoms consistent with HF, signs of fluid retention (pulmonary or peripheral oedema), a cardiac abnormality, and wherever possible or in cases of doubt, a response to therapy for HF. Cases were assessed with history, examination, ECG, CXR and echocardiogram (TTE) before presentation to a panel of 3 cardiologists (DAW, AJC, GCS) to determine if a case fulfilled the definition of HF. Over 15 months 332 incident cases of HF were identified with 196 cases (59%) 75 years (population incidence 0.9 cases/1000 population/year). We used the criteria of a non-dilated LV (LVEDD < 5.6cm), a fractional shortening (FS) ≥ 25% or normal LV systolic function on visual assessment, and no valve abnormality to identify cases of HF with NSF. TTE data was missing on 21 non-valvular cases. Of the 311 remaining cases 53 / 311 (17%) were HF with NSF. 18 /131 (14%) were aged < 75 years and 35 /180 (19%) aged ≥ 75 years. 20 / 53 (38%) of these cases were in AF (compared with 34% of all HF cases) where interpretation of diastolic function is more difficult. 22 / 53 (42%) had a septal thickness >1.1cm (found in 34% of all cases). 26 / 53 (49%) were NYHA 4 (75% of all HF cases were in NYHA 4). These proportions are dependent on the definition of NSF. Using a cut off of a LVEDD < 6.0 and a FS ≥ 20% would increase the number of cases of HF with NSF to 84 / 311 (27%). The proportio
