Article Synopsis
- Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is linked to increased mortality risk and coronary artery disease, yet its underlying mechanisms are unclear.
- A study analyzed 610 patients undergoing exercise echocardiography, dividing them into two groups based on their heart rate response during the test: those with CI (Chl) and those without (ChC).
- Findings revealed that patients with CI exhibited more symptoms like dyspnoea and hypertension, poorer exercise tolerance, and significant left ventricle dysfunction, particularly related to severe right coronary artery blockages.
