Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and heart failure (HF) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in all of western civilization and certainly this is the case in southern Louisiana. In this manuscript, we briefly review some of the preventive cardiology and non-invasive research performed at the Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute in New Orleans, particularly data from our cardiac rehabilitation and exercise training (CRET) programs, clinical data from our cardiopulmonary laboratory regarding heart failure (HF) prognosis, as well as retrospective data from our cardiovascular informations systems (CVIS), which has allowed us to link a large volume of non-invasive data with subsequent prognosis.
