Comparison of office heart rate and mean 24-hours ambulatory heart rate in chronic heart failure patients in relation to their ejection fraction

Abstract

Background: Chronic heart failure poses a global disease with a prevalence of up to 2%. It comes with a high mortality rate, and is bound to a great financial burden, including extensive treatment costs. The pharmacological treatment of heart failure aims to improve the ejection fraction and lower the heart rate. The correlation between those two main targets is the main object of this work. Methods: Patients with chronic heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction of
