Optimized Treatment and Heart Rate Reduction in Chronic Heart Failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome that leads to poor outcome in advanced forms. The neurohormonal blockade modifies this natural history; however, it is often suboptimal. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess at what percentage cardiologists used to treating HF can prescribe target doses of drugs of proven efficacy. METHODS A total of 104 outpatients with systolic dysfuncti...
متن کاملBenefit of Heart Rate Reduction in Heart Failure
Epidemiological studies have suggested that life expectancy is inversely related to resting heart rate and that the risks of development of heart failure and sudden cardiac death strongly increase with higher resting heart rates [1]. After myocardial infarction, the reduction in mortality with β-blocker treatment was correlated with the extent of heart rate reduction, and in patients with heart...

متن کاملHeart rate turbulence in patients with chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Heart rate turbulence (HRT) has been shown to predict the prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI), but its prognostic value in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) has not yet been well established. AIM To evaluate HRT in patients with CHF and assess the prognostic significance of HRT in this group. METHODS The study group consisted of 82 patients with CHF and left ventri...
متن کاملHeart rate in chronic heart failure: an overlooked risk factor.
Heart rate measured by palpation and more recently by auscultation has been used for centuries to assess the cardiovascular condition of patients (Figure 1). It is, however, only recently that the importance of heart ratemeasurement as aprognostic factorhasbeen recognized in unselected healthy populations, patients with hypertension or coronary artery disease, after myocardial infarction, and i...
