Prognostic importance of temporal changes in resting heart rate in heart failure patients: an analysis of the CHARM program
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Resting heart rate (HR) is a predictor of adverse outcome in patients with heart failure (HF). Whether changes in HR over time in patients with chronic HF are also associated with adverse outcome is unknown. We explored the relationship between changes in HR from a preceding visit, time-updated HR (i.e. most recent available HR value from a clinic visit) and subsequent outcomes in patients with chronic HF.
METHODS AND RESULTS: We …
