Heart rate is a parameter that is very easy to measure and is widely used both in clinic and during daily life activities. Its value gained more relevance with the evidence, in prospective studies and meta-analysis, of association between elevated heart rate values and diseases and outcomes.The increased knowledge of physiological mechanisms of heart rate control and the pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for its dysfunction allows to identify the cut-off value of normalcy providing info for non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments to reduce the cardiovascular risk both in general population and in pathophysiological conditions. This paper overviews the knowledges of the role of resting heart rate as predictor of cardiovascular risk.
心率是一个非常容易测量的参数,在临床和日常生活活动中都有广泛应用。随着前瞻性研究和荟萃分析证据的增加,表明心率升高与疾病和结局之间存在关联,其价值变得更加重要。对心率控制的生理机制和导致其功能障碍的病理生理机制的更多了解,可以确定正常值的截止值,为非药物和药物治疗提供信息,以降低普通人群和病理生理条件下的心血管风险。本文综述了静息心率作为心血管风险预测因子的作用的相关知识。
