Shape of heart arteries linked to future heart failure

Over 10 years, the higher-risk half had 1.68 times the heart failure rate at any given time compared with the lower-risk half.Over 10 years, the higher-risk half had 1.68 times the heart failure rate at any given time compared with the lower-risk half.
