Blunted heart rate predicts death

This article was originally published in Clinica

Executive Summary

Failure to achieve maximum heart rate during exercise testing predicts heart attack and death, according to the Framingham-Cleveland Clinic study. During eight-year follow-up of 1,575 men, 14% of those who had failed to reach their predicted maximum heart rate on a treadmill went on to suffer a heart attack, sudden death or angina. Only 3% of those who reached the heart rate target suffered adverse cardiac events, writes Dr Peter Okin in Circulation (April).
