The “Dirk Verheyden-foundation” wishes to add the following considerations and refl exions to this scientifi c foreword. Young people suffering a heart failure are fi ghting so hard against this disease. Some win, some lose the fi ght. It would be a shame if we, healthy people, did not try to continue this battle on another fi eld. That is why we founded the “Dirk Verheyden-foundation” in collaboration with the Cardiovascular Centre of the OLV Hospital in Aalst, Belgium. With the possibilities we have, we succeeded to raise funds to enable the edition of this book about the experiences and fi ndings of this resolute cardiovascular team.
