Abstract
Worsening and progressive heart failure has been the most common mode of death in patients with heart failure. With the development of drugs that primarily have modulation of the renin-angiotensin and sympathetic nervous systems as their mechanism, relative importance of progressive heart failure has decreased. Sudden death has become a larger issue and the dominant mode of death in heart failure. This change requires the clinician to redirect therapy to the prevention and treatment of sudden death.Entities:
