2014 PROGRAM 18th Annual Scientific Assembly $BFTBST1BMBDFt-BT7FHBT/7 4FQUFNCFSo 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 BOOTH 607 Visit HeartRateMatters.com to learn about the role heart rate can play in heart failure References 1.
