Abstract
Background
The antecedents and epidemiology of heart failure in young adults are poorly understood.
Methods
We prospectively assessed the incidence of heart failure over a 20-year period among 5115 blacks and whites of both sexes who were 18 to 30 years of age at baseline. Using Cox models, we examined predictors of hospitalization or death from heart failure.
