The following represents our interpretation of the lectures presented at the 30th Annual Williamsburg Conference on Heart Disease, which was sponsored by the American College of Cardiology in cosponsorship with the Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute of Baylor University Medical Center and held December 7–11, 2002, in Williamsburg, Virginia. We have attempted to derive principles and to relay key, clinically useful facts.
