Abstract

Despite the decrease in cardiovascular disease (CVD) related deaths (1,2) at the start of the new millenium, CVD is still the leading cause of death in the United States (1–3). CVD accounts for over half of all deaths (3) and more than 900,000 deaths annually (4). Over 12 million Americans have coronary heart disease (CHD) (5), and CHD ranks first among CVD in actual causes of death (1). Clinical manifestations of CHD include stable and unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction (MI), and sudden death (3).
