Preventing coronary disease and hypertension will have the greatest population impact in preventing heart failure, and sex-targeted prevention strategies might confer additional benefit.
Abstract
Preventing coronary disease and hypertension will have the greatest population impact in preventing heart failure. Sex-targeted prevention strategies might confer additional benefit. However, these relationships can change, underscoring the importance of continued surveillance of heart failure.

Obesity is significantly correlated with left ventricular mass, even after controlling for age and blood pressure, and the increase in left Ventricular mass associated with increasing adiposity reflects increases in both left vent cardiac wall thickness and left ventiliary internal dimension.

Congestive heart failure continues to be a lethal end stage of cardiovascular disease caused by hypertension, coronary disease, valve deformity, diabetes, and cardiomyopathy and the prevalence of cardiac failure can be expected to rise because the predisposing conditions are palliated, not cured.

161 Citations2003Jens Hellermann
Administration of reperfusion therapy within 24 hours after MI was associated with lower risk of post-MI heart failure and accounted for most of the temporal decline in heart failure, suggesting that improved survival after MI is unlikely to be a major contributor to the heart failure epidemic.

It is suggested that at a community level, hypertension awareness and blood pressure control rates are suboptimal, presumably because of decreased attention to the detection and control of hypertension.
