1424-1430. These authors/researchers are associated with a variety of institutions. Bibbins-Domingo is associated with the Division of General Internal Medicine, San Francisco General Hospital. Bibbins-Domingo, Lin, Vittinghoff, Hulley,
Grady and Shlipak are associated with the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Section of General Medicine, San Francisco VA Medical Center. Barrett-Connor is associated with the University of
California at San Francisco and the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine at the University of California at San Diego. There are no funding sources identified. Problem/Purpose While the
incidence of other forms of cardiovascular disease have decreased in recent years, the rate of heart failure has remained unchanged, with more than 500,000 new cases of heart failure occurring
on an annual basis (Bibbins-Domingo, et al, 2004). This indicates a devastating public health problem as morality rates range as high as 20 to 30 percent. The lifetime risk for
heart failure remains at 1 in 5 for both men and women. While recommendations have focused on prevention, effective interventions are dependent on thorough comprehension of associated risk factors
and this has been understudied in regards to women (Bibbins-Domingo, et al, 2004). Coronary disease appears to be the most prevalent factor in heart failure for both men and women,
but the prognostic factors that influence the progression of coronary disease in women has not been intensely investigated and may be different from risk factors for men (Bibbins-Domingo, et al,
2004). The majority of studies have focused on male participants and their findings may or may not hold true for women as well. The incidence for coronary disease among
women has escalated in recent decades and has become a major cause of mortality among women. Devising effective nursing interventions for the prevention of heart failure is certainly a very
