For evaluating the validity of heart rate lowering therapy in coronary artery disease patients, we conducted a prospective cohort study of diabetic patients with stable coronary artery disease. A total of 1591patients were followed for a mean duration of 3.2 years and evaluated the relationship between in-treatment resting heart rate and subsequent cardiovascular events. As the result, elevated in-treatment heart rate was an independent predictor of cardiovascular event.
