Abstract
Heart rate has been associated with prognosis in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) and sinus rhythm; whether this also holds true in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. To evaluate cardiac rhythm and baseline heart rate and the influence of outcome in patients with HFREF enrolled in the Cardiac Insufficiency Bisoprolol Study II. In total, 2539 patients were stratified according to their baseline heart rhythm (AF or sinus rhythm) and into quartiles of heart rate (≤70 bpm, 71-78 bpm, 79-90 bpm, and >90 bpm). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Mean follow-up was 1.3 years. Mean age was 61 years, mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 28%, and 80% were male. A total of 521 (21%) patients had AF at baseline. The risk associated with all-cause mortality for each 5 bpm increase in heart rate in patients with sinus rhythm (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.11, P = 0.012) was significantly different from those with AF (HR: 1.00, 95% CI: 0.94-1.07, P = 0.90, P for interaction = 0.041). The risk associated with higher heart rate in sinus rhythm was primarily attributable to excess risk in the highest quartile (HR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.18-2.30, P = 0.003)...Continue Reading
