Özet

Background: Resting heart rate (HR) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, the effects of HR-lowering therapy on diastolic function in HFrEF patients are not well described. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of lowering HR on diastolic function in HFrEF patients with sinus rhythm.
