Heart rate in the management of cardiovascular patients: it’s time to act

Abstract
Heart rate is an indirect marker of the body’s metabolic rate, and hence controls how much energy the body consumes. This is of paramount importance because living creatures in this world compete for a fixed share of the vital energy available to them. If they consume or, more exactly, exhaust it too quickly, their lives will have to be shorter. One could then consider heart rate to be the timepiece or pacemaker, not only of the heart, but also, viewed more widely, of life itself. ‘‘File in questo prodotto:
