Figure 1 Heart Rate and Mortality in Healthy Men
Relative risk of death from any cause, nonsudden death from myocardial infarction (MI), and sudden death from MI by quintiles of resting heart rate in 5,713 men without known or suspected heart disease. Reprinted with permission from Jouven et al. (1). bpm = beats/min.

Figure 2 Heart Rate and Mortality in Coronary Artery Disease
Relationship between hazard ratio and resting heart rate for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in 24,913 patients with suspected or proven coronary artery disease. Based on data from Diaz et al. (5). bpm = beats/min.

Figure 3 Heart Rate Reduction and Mortality After Myocardial Infarction
Relationship between the mean reduction in heart rate and the mean change in mortality (relative to placebo) in different randomized, placebo-controlled trials of beta-blockers after myocardial infarction. The linear regression line (r = 0.6, p < 0.05) was fitted excluding the smallest study (open circles). Modified and based on data from Kjekshus (17). bpm = beats/min.

Figure 4 Heart Rate Reduction and Myocardial Ischemia
Relationship between the improvement in time to myocardial ischemia during bicycle exercise and the reduction in exercise heart rate achieved in stable angina patients after treatment with 2 doses of 3 different calcium channel blockers (amlodipine, diltiazem, and mibefradil). Reprinted with permission from van der Vring et al. (22). bpm = beats/min.
