Heart Rate Versus Heart Rate Variability in Risk Prediction after Myocardial Infarction

Heart Rate versus Heart Rate Variability. Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) in risk prediction after acute myocardial infarction (MI) and to evaluate the effect of beta‐blocker treatment on the prognostic performance of heart rate and HRV.
