Heart Rate in Antihypertensive Treatment: Should not be Considered?

Abstract

Abstract

Heart rate is a risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events and total mortality. In general population, heart rate was associated with blood pressure and highest heart rateswere found in patients with moderatesevere hypertension. On the other hand it is obvious that heart rate is a risk factor for CV events. However, it is not clear that this riskis still applicable in hypertensive patients with high risk and this should be clarified inhypertension treatment guidelines.

Kalp hızı kardiyovasküler (KV) olaylar ve total mortalite için bir risk faktörüdür. Genel popülasyonda kalp hızı kan basıncı ile ilişkili bulunmuştur ve en yüksek kalp hızları orta-ciddi hipertansiyonu bulunan hastalarda saptanmıştır. Öte yandan, kalp hızının KVolaylar için bir risk faktörü olduğu aşikardır. Fakat, yüksek riskli hipertansiyonda bu risAbstractHeart rate is a risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events and total mortality.
