The heart rate at rest (HR) is a predictor of cardiovascular (CV) mortality. However, its effect
on nonfatal CV events is unknown. The aim of the present post hoc analysis of the Treating …

The importance of resting heart rate (HR) as a prognostic factor and potential therapeutic
target is not yet generally accepted. Recent large epidemiologic studies have confirmed …

Background High resting heart rate (RHR) predicts cardiovascular outcomes in patients with
vascular disease and heart failure. We evaluated the prognostic value of RHR in a large …

Several risk factors for the development of coronary heart disease and related mortality have
been identified to facilitate detection of patients at high risk and to guide prevention of the …

Aims Heart rate was proposed as an emergent cardiovascular (CV) risk factor. Previous
studies have shown associations between increased heart rate and CV risk in various …

Background: Resting heart rate is linked to risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, sudden
death and noncardiovascular diseases. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess these …

Background: Data on resting heart rate and risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality are
inconsistent; the magnitude of associations between resting heart rate and risk of all-cause …

BACKGROUND: Elevated resting heart rate (RHR) is known to be associated with reduced
survival but inconsistencies remain, including lack of significance in most studies of healthy …

In the past 2 decades, there have been growing evidences that resting heart rate might be a
marker of risk or even a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This article …

Aims Heart rate reduction is the cornerstone of the treatment of angina. The purpose of this
study was to explore the prognostic value of heart rate in patients with stable coronary artery …
