Abstract
A representative population sample of 5192 men and women was followed for 16 years, during which overt congestive heart failure (CHF) developed in 142. In the age range from 30 to 62 years the dominant etiologic precursor was hypertension, which preceded CHF in 75 per cent of the cases. Six times more CHF developed in hypertensive than in normotensive persons.Keywords
