Meanings of chronotropic incompetence in English

Older people with chronotropic incompetence, who may benefit from pacing, were identified.

This chronotropic incompetence is due in large part to cardiac denervation.

Background: Exercise intolerance and chronotropic incompetence are characteristic of patients with heart failure.

Neither left ventricular function nor BNP levels were independently related to the presence of chronotropic incompetence.

We studied the prevalence of chronotropic incompetence and its relation to exercise intolerance in patients with HCM.

Rate-responsive pacing is known to improve quality of life (QOL) in patients with sick sinus syndrome and chronotropic incompetence.

Exercise training improves exercise capacity in these patients; however, to what extent reversal of chronotropic incompetence contributes to such a response remains uncertain.

Conclusions: Exercise training results in an increase in peak heart rate and partial reversal of chronotropic incompetence among patients with stable heart failure.

Introduction: Exercise limitation is common in patients with a systemic right ventricle or univentricular circulation and may be related to chronotropic incompetence (CI).

Chagas' disease patients with and without left ventricular dysfunction chronotropic incompetence may exhibit reduced chronotropic response to exercise, expressed by a less steep chronotropic-metabolic index.

Conclusions: Chronotropic incompetence may be considered an early sign of autonomic dysfunction in ChD patients.

Conclusion: Chronotropic incompetence is associated with ventricular dysfunction in peak exercise and critical right coronary artery lesions.

Discussion: Chronotropic incompetence is common and associated with exercise limitation in patients with a systemic right ventricle or univentricular circulation.
