Heart rate is more than just a vital sign, it is a key determinant of cardiovascular function and an important predictor of outcomes across a range of cardiac conditions. Elevated resting heart rate has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality, making its assessment and management a critical component of cardiovascular care.

In this session, Dr. Sunil Sathe will discuss the physiological role of heart rate, its prognostic significance in cardiovascular disease, and evidence-based approaches to heart rate management. Participants will gain practical insights into optimizing patient outcomes through targeted heart rate control in everyday clinical practice.
