Systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and outcomes in patients with coronary disease and heart failure

ConclusionsIn patients with CAD, a physician diagnosis of HF at baseline portended a higher risk for death, MI, or stroke than in those without an HF history. Achieving SBP of 120 –140 mmHg and heart rate< 85 b.p.m. was associated with a better outcome in patients with known HF and CAD.
