The· first meeting of the cardiovascular drug therapy forum took place on April 13-15, 1988 in Montreux, Switzerland. In this meeting, which was closed to the public, approximately 150 leading investigators in the field of cardiovascular drug therapy, both academics and from the pharmaceutical industry, discussed the state of the art and future trends of this rapidly expanding field. The discussions concentrated on four major topics: (1) ischemic heart disease; (2) heart failure; (3) hyper tension; (4) arrhythmias. These topics were discussed by four committees in parallel, and thereafter the main points were reviewed by the whole forum. This framework allowed both intensive and interdisciplinary discussions. This book, the first publication of selected topics from the meeting, focuses mainly on nitrate therapy in ischemic heart disease and heart failure.
