Although statistics of cardiovascular disease (CVD) change over time, hypertension (HTN) remains a leading cause of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Many recent reviews stress its etiologic correlation with heart failure (HF). Thus, Roger [67] describing the HF epidemic stresses that 4.9 million Americans carry this diagnosis with survival estimates of 50 % at 5 years. She mentions that the attributable risk of hypertension varies between 10 and 13 % in various studies [67].
