Sammanfattning
The aim of this review was to assess the effect of pharmacological reduction of the heart rate on prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure. Although a high heart rate is associated with a reduced life expectancy and causes a number of unwanted pathophysiological effects on the failing heart, there is no documentation that the beneficial effect of beta-blockers or other heart failure agents on survival is mediated through a reduction in heart rate.
