Key result
Expert panel highlights resting heart rate as an independent risk factor across CAD and HF.
Why the study?
Resting heart rate is an independent risk factor in post-MI, stable coronary artery disease, and heart failure, yet it is often not measured or considered in patient management.

May warrant greater clinical attention to resting heart rate post-MI, in CAD, and HF; leaves open whether modification improves outcomes.
Resting heart rate has been shown in many studies to be an independent risk factor post‐ MI, in stable coronary artery disease and in heart failure. Despite this, heart rate is often not measured or considered when managing patients with cardiovascular disease. In this Expert Panel Discussion, the panel looks at the evidence for the association between heart rate and cardiovascular risk, and discusses current management guidelines and how the focus on this risk factor could be increased.

McInnes et al. (2010) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Resting heart rate was evaluated. Resting heart rate was discussed by an expert panel as an independent risk factor post-MI, in stable coronary artery disease, and in heart failure, highlighting a need for increased clinical focus.
