National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Report of the Task Force on Research inHeart Failure

摘要

In 1992, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened a TaskForce on Research in Heart Failure, comprised of national experts in basic, clinical, and population-based research on this condition. The task force's charge was to assess the current stat of research on heart failure and recommend future research approaches that are likely to lead to improved management or prevention of heart failure and, thereby, improved health for all Americans by the end of the decade. The task force presents its overall findings in the Executive Summary, highlighting especially promising area for future research. Research accomplishments and specific recommendations in each of four major areas addressed by the task force--basic research, clincial research, population-based studies, and treatment--are described more fully in the main report.
