IN PATIENTS WITH
HEART FAILURE,
AN INCREASED HEART RATE OF ≥70 BPM
CAN INCREASE HIS RISK
For the over 5 million American
adults living with heart failure, an
increased heart rate of ≥ 70 bpm
(among other factors including
diabetes and reduced LVEF) can
increase the risk of hospitalization
and mortality.1,2
• 25% of heart failure patients
are readmitted to the hospital
within 30 days and 50% are
readmitted within 6 months.3-5
• Even with treatment, heart
failure patients may still have
increased heart rates, which
may put them at greater risk
for CV events.6,7,8

the role heart rate can play in heart failure
