Heart rate reduction through lifestyle modification

Lifestyle and dietary modification for prevention of heart failure.

This article discusses the factors that contribute most to systolic and diastolic heart failure (HF): ischemic heart disease, hypertension,obesity, diabetes, and nephropathy. Diabetes often follows the insulin resistance syndrome in which obesity and hypertension are combined with dyslipidemia, and obesity is likely causal. Diabetes and hypertension are common causes of nephropathy, which in tu...

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...

Benefit 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...
