This editorial refers to ‘Chronotropic response to exercise testing is associated with carotid atherosclerosis in healthy middle-aged men’{dagger} by S.Y. Jae et al., on page 954

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Jae et al.1 report on the association between the chronotropic response during exercise testing and carotid atherosclerosis in a large cohort of 8959 healthy middle-aged men. Importantly, the association between an attenuated heart rate (HR) response to exercise and a measurement of sub-clinical atherosclerosis by ultrasonography was independent of age, conventional cardiac risk factors, and parameters of inflammation.

The HR response to exercise is related to several parameters including age, resting HR, functional capacity, cardiac function, extent of coronary artery disease, and the autonomic nervous system. A common definition of an abnormal HR response during exercise is the failure . . . [Full Text of this Article]
