Importance of Heart Rate in Determining Cardiovascular Risk

摘要: A body of evidence indicates that subjects with tachycardia are more likely to develop hypertension (1–3) and atherosclerosis in future years (4–6). However, the connection between heart rate cardiovascular risk has long been neglected, on grounds is often associated traditional factors for atherosclerosis, such as or metabolic abnormalities (7). high currently considered only an epiphenomenon a complex clinical condition rather than independent factor. most epidemiogic studies showed predictive power fast disease remains significant even when its relative adjusted all major other confounders (4–7). In this chapter, results main dealt relation morbidity mortality will be summarized, pathogenesis focus.
