Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of combined morbidity and mortality among developed nations. It is the final clinical presentation of a variety of cardiovascular diseases and disorders, such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular heart disease, myocarditis, diabetes, alcohol abuse, and familial cardiomyopathies (Narula et al. 1996). This pathophysiological state is characterized by progressive deterioration of ventricular function, usually in the left ventricle (LV).
