World Heart Day is September 29, 2002. This occasion provides an opportunity to recognize our successes in science and clinical care, to survey the present and future challenges at home and abroad, and to seek opportunities for international partnerships in addressing the burgeoning global epidemic of cardiovascular disease. The final decades of the twentieth century represented a period of unprecedented success for the cardiovascular biomedical enterprise in advancing the knowledge of cardiovascular disease. Scientific progress in understanding the mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases fueled the proliferation of new methods for prevention and treatment, clinical trials to critically test these interventions, and evidence-based practice guidelines to distill these scientific advances broadly into clinical practice.
