Background: The relationship between mortality and heart rate remains unclear for patients
with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in either sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Cachexia in the context of heart failure (HF) has been termed cardiac cachexia, and
represents a progressive involuntary weight loss. Cachexia is mainly the result of an …

Aims Patients with advanced cancer have been shown to suffer from abnormal cardiac
function and impaired exercise capacity that may contribute to their impaired quality of life …

Heart rate (HR) is associated with cardiovascular outcomes in all the stages of the
cardiovascular continuum as well as in patients with pulmonary, cerebrovascular, and renal …

Background Heart rate is crucial for patients with septic shock, but there are few studies on
the scope of heart rate. Therefore, we studied the relationship between different heart rates …

Aims Several studies have shown that older patients with heart failure with reduced ejection
fraction (HFrEF) are undertreated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of up …

Aims Cancer patients suffer from impaired cardiovascular function. Elevated resting heart
rate (RHR) has been identified as a marker for increased long‐term mortality in cancer …

Heart failure has reached epidemic proportions given the ageing of populations and is
associated with high mortality and re-hospitalization rates. This article reviews and …

Background Beta blockers improve survival in patients with chronic systolic heart failure
(CHF). Whether physicians should aim for target dose, target heart rate (HR), or both is still …

The prevalence of heart failure increases with age. Changes in the age distribution and
growing life expectancy will lead to a further rise. However, data concerning drug treatment …
