Almost all the epidemiological studies that aimed to answer the question of the relationship between heart rate and all-cause or cardiovascular morbidity and mortality reported that a high heart rate was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events. Heart rate reduction improves vascular function and prevents atherosclerosis in an experimental setting and is thus characterized as a potential modifiable risk factor. Thus, selective heart rate reduction may play a future role in secondary prevention after cerebrovascular events. Join us live on Medflix with Dr. Sunil Sathe as he discusses how crucial it is to understand the close connection and impact of heart rate on the different stages of cardiovascular disease and how pre-emptively targeting it may prevent future cardiovascular events.

Understanding the role of Heart Rate in Cardiovascular Diseases

Clinical blood pressure (BP) is recognized as the gold standard for the screening, diagnosis, and management of hypertension. There is a strong log-linear relationship between blood pressure levels and vascular outcomes. Short-term BP variations within 24-hours are heavily influenced by circadian variations, resulting in many important phenotypes, such as morning BP surge, morning hypertension, nocturnal dipping, and nocturnal hypertension. Calculating and measuring each individual patient's distinct BP fluctuations is crucial for estimating the extent of BP variability. Dr. Sunil Sathe, a leading cardiologist, joins us LIVE on Medflix to discuss the implications of BP variations in routine clinical practice!
