Heart failure research is a most active area of research in academic, industrial and government-sponsored research and receives intense clinical attention. The recent recognition that inflammation is a risk factor and prognostic factor for heart disease has laid ground for preventive medicine and even anti-infective strategies in prevention and treatment of heart failure.

clinical attention. The recent recognition that inflammation is a risk
factor and prognostic factor for heart disease has laid ground for
preventive medicine and even anti-infective strategies in prevention and
treatment of heart failure.
