A blunted heart rate (HR) response during dipyridamole myocardial perfusion imaging has been associated with a poor outcome. To assess the value of HR response in patients who underwent high-dose dipyridamole stress echocardiography (SE), we retrospectively selected a sample of 3,059 patients (none with pacemakers or atrial fibrillation; mean age 66 +/- 11 years). All underwent high-dose (0.84 mg/kg) dipyridamole SE for evaluation of known or suspected coronary artery disease and/or heart failure in 2 laboratories of Pisa-IFC and Lucca. HR (with 12-lead ECG) was obtained each minute and recorded at rest and peak stress. HR reserve (HRR) was calculated as the peak/rest HR ratio. All patients were followed up. Patients were randomly divided into the modeling and validation group of equal size. During a median follow-up time of 1,004 days, 321 hard events occurred: 231 deaths and 90 nonfatal myocardial infarctions. HRR
