Heart rate and prognosis of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in women and men in sinus rhythmdoi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehae666.3082BACKGROUND. Resting heart rate (HR) is a well-established therapeutic target for treating heart failure (HF). Beta-blockers are the primary drugs to reduce...

To examine if the long-range correlation in heart rate variability is a rhythm-independent characteristic common to both atrial fibrillation (AF) and sinus rhythm (SR) periods in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Holter electrocardiography was analyzed during sleep in 18 patients wit...
Heart Rate and Rhythm. Although HR should be assessed during the systems review for many patients, particular attention should be paid to specific examination of HR and rhythm in the patient with heart failure as these are often indicators of the patient's physiological status and prognosis and ...
Cardiac rhythm is the second component of the cardiac exam that is different in children. In children less than 3 years of age,sinus arrhythmiacan be a normal finding. The pulse rate increases during inspiration and decreases during expiration. Dropped beats or premature contractions may also be ...

In randomized trials in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), treatment strategies that restore and maintain sinus rhythm (rhythm control) have not shown convincing advantages over those that simply control heart rate (rate control). But which strategy is better for patients with AF and heart fai...
The normal heart rhythm, known as sinus rhythm, originates in specialized cardiac cells, called pacemaker cells, in the sino-atrial (SA) or sinus node and has been defined as a sinus node rate of 60 to 100 beats/minute. Each heart beat or contraction is initiated by generation of an ...
sinus rate. Sinus bradycardia is common in these infants, in conjunction with apnea, and may be associated with junctional escape beats; premature atrial contractions are also frequent. These rhythm changes, especially bradycardia, appear more often during sleep and are not associated with symptoms. ...
