were studied using conventional exercise testing &#40;ET&#41; performed at three time points&#58; before CRP&#44; at the end of phase II&#44; and 12 months after ACS&#46; BB doses were converted into equivalents and the population was divided into three groups according to whether the dosage had been reduced&#44; remained unchanged&#44; or increased&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Maximum predicted heart rate was calculated using the 220-age formula and Brawner&#39;s formula&#44; and CI was diagnosed if the maximum heart rate &#40;HRM&#41; was less than 80&#37; of the MPHR determined by the two formulas&#46; Patients underwent eight to 24 sessions of aerobic and muscle strength training according to current international guidelines&#46; After finishing the CRP there was an average reduction of 3&#8239;ppm at rest and an average increase of 5&#8239;ppm at peak exertion in the entire study population&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Similarly&#44; the CIx increased both when it was calculated using the 220-age formula or Brawner&#39;s formula&#46; FC increased by about 2 METs after the program&#44; and the gain was maintained 12 months after ACS&#44; with a positive correlation between the increase in chronotopism and FC&#44; which increased by about 0&#46;37 estimated METs for each 1&#37; of CIx calculated based on the 220-age formula&#44; independent of age&#44; gender&#44; and BB dose&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors correctly identify several limitations of their study&#46; However&#44; they did not consider the fact that CRP duration varied between eight and 24 sessions&#44; which could have an impact on both FC and CI improvement&#44; and that FC was assessed by conventional ET and not by cardiorespiratory ET&#44; which would provide a more accurate measurement&#46; It should be emphasized that cardiorespiratory ET&#44; although recommended&#44; is not considered mandatory in international recommendations in CRPs for patients with good LVF&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">They concluded that HF is improved by physical training in CRPs for patients after mildly symptomatic ACS&#44; without compromised normal LVF&#44; mostly on BB medication&#44; regardless of the dose&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors found that the classic &#40;220-age&#41; formula for calculating MPHR had a higher correlation with increasing FC relative to Brawner&#39;s formula&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The calculation of CIx can be performed at submaximal<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> or maximal effort<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a> levels&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Wilkoff<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> defined CIx as the quotient between the chronotropic reserve and the metabolic reserve at submaximal effort&#46; CIx has the advantage of being adjusted to the age and FC of the individual and of being independent of the ergometer or protocol used&#46; In normal adults&#44; the percentage of chronotropic reserve is equal to the percentage of metabolic reserve&#46; This concept means chronotropism can be assessed at any point in an ET using the formula&#58; HR at staging is equal to &#40;220-age HR at rest&#41; multiplied by &#40;METs at staging-1 dividing by METs reached at peak effort&#41;&#46; The normal CIx is 1&#46;0&#44; accepting a range between 0&#46;8 and 1&#46;3&#46; If it is &#8804;0&#46;8 at a given point&#44; CI is considered to exist&#46;</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It can also be determined at maximal effort level&#44; considering the value of MPHR based on age and one of several equations&#59; calculating the respective percentage that was reached by the highest HR reached in ET interrupted by exhaustion&#46; In this case&#44; there are two difficulties&#58; choosing the equation that best applies to the individual under study and ensuring that the degree of exhaustion has been reached&#46;</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding formulas&#44; there is no consensus among experts and no univocal guidelines in international recommendations<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a>&#46; Most exercise physiology laboratories continue to use the classical formula &#40;HRM&#61;220-age&#41;&#44; although some studies have suggested that Brawner&#39;s formula &#40;HRM&#61;164-age&#8239;&#215;&#8239;0&#46;7&#41; would be the most appropriate for individuals with suspected or confirmed<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> coronary heart disease&#44; particularly for those who are undergoing BB therapy&#44;

Any of the proposed equations have an underlying standard deviation around 10-20 beats&#44; which has led most centers to continue to use the equation HRM&#61;220-age because it is easier to use&#44; and they do not see significant usefulness in the alternatives&#46;</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The second difficulty has to do with the certainty that the maximum HR has been reached&#46; Usually this is performed subjectively when the patient or the ET performers consider that physical exhaustion has been reached&#46; If we want to be rigorous&#44; we have to perform a cardiorespiratory ET in which the intensity of effort that conditions the achievement of a respiratory quotient value greater than 1&#46;10<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> must be reached&#46; It is a gross error to consider reaching 85&#37; of MPHR as a criterion to define a maximum effort test and decide upon its suspension&#46;</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In fact&#44; the best methodology for calculating CIx involves selecting a specific protocol to study chronotropism such as CAEP<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> and performing a cardiorespiratory exercise test in which a QR greater than 1&#46;10 is achieved&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">After performing the ET&#44; if we intend to assess CI by the HRM achieved&#44; we need to choose one of its definitions&#46; The definition of CI in medical literature is not agreed upon&#44; and criteria for CI have been found based on percentages ranging from 70&#44; 80 and 85&#37; of MPHR&#44; although most agree on the inability to reach 85&#37; of MPH or 80&#37; of chronotropic reserve &#40;the difference between HR at rest and HR achieved during maximum effort&#41; in individuals not on BB medication&#44; and 62&#37; of MPHR in patients on BB based on the formula HRM&#61;220-age&#46; Brawner&#39;s formula and others significantly underestimate the HRM&#44; as can be seen in the work of Tiago Pimenta et al&#46;</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The methodological difficulties and current inconsistencies in the definition of HF should encourage the conduct of prospective studies to establish an evaluation methodology and a more precise and clear definition&#44; since the evaluation of chronotropism during exercise has already proven to have a high prognostic value for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality&#46;</p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the context of cardiovascular disease&#44; particularly in HF<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a>&#44; both CIx and HR reduction in the first and third minutes of recovery&#44; as well as HR variability are also predictors of poor prognosis&#44;

on the chronotropic index &#40;CIx&#41; of patients after acute coronary syndrome &#40;ACS&#41;&#44; most of whom had been treated with several beta-blockers &#40;BB&#41; at different doses&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The study of the chronotropic response to exercise is of the utmost importance because&#44; although it is well established that the presence of chronotropic incompetence &#40;CI&#41; has a negative impact on patient progress&#44; little is known about this undervalued topic&#44; particularly because possible improvement is not acknowledged&#46;</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The diagnosis of CI is complicated by the existence of several formulas for calculating the maximum predicted heart rate &#40;MPHR&#41;&#44;

consisting of 543 consecutive patients after ACS&#44; mostly male &#40;14&#46;9&#37; female&#41;&#44; asymptomatic &#40;89&#37; in New York Heart Association &#40;NYHA&#41; class I&#44; who did not have significant impairment of left ventricular function &#40;LVF&#41;&#46; At admission and 12 months after ACS&#44; about 86&#37; and 87&#37; of the cases were under BB&#44; respectively&#46;</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Chronotropism and functional capacity &#40;FC&#41; were studied using conventional exercise testing &#40;ET&#41; performed at three time points&#58; before CRP&#44; at the end of phase II&#44; and 12 months after ACS&#46; BB doses were converted into equivalents and the population was divided into three groups according to whether the dosage had been reduced&#44; remained unchanged&#44; or increased&#46;</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Maximum predicted heart rate was calculated using the 220-age formula and Brawner&#39;s formula&#44; and CI was diagnosed if the maximum heart rate &#40;HRM&#41; was less than 80&#37; of the MPHR determined by the two formulas&#46; Patients underwent eight to 24 sessions of aerobic and muscle strength training according to current international guidelines&#46; After finishing the CRP there was an average reduction of 3&#8239;ppm at rest and an average increase of 5&#8239;ppm at peak exertion in the entire study population&#46;</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Similarly&#44; the CIx increased both when it was calculated using the 220-age formula or Brawner&#39;s formula&#46; FC increased by about 2 METs after the program&#44; and the gain was maintained 12 months after ACS&#44; with a positive correlation between the increase in chronotopism and FC&#44; which increased by about 0&#46;37 estimated METs for each 1&#37; of CIx calculated based on the 220-age formula&#44; independent of age&#44; gender&#44; and BB dose&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors correctly identify several limitations of their study&#46; However&#44; they did not consider the fact that CRP duration varied between eight and 24 sessions&#44; which could have an impact on both FC and CI improvement&#44; and that FC was assessed by conventional ET and not by cardiorespiratory ET&#44; which would provide a more accurate measurement&#46; It should be emphasized that cardiorespiratory ET&#44; although recommended&#44; is not considered mandatory in international recommendations in CRPs for patients with good LVF&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">They concluded that HF is improved by physical training in CRPs for patients after mildly symptomatic ACS&#44; without compromised normal LVF&#44; mostly on BB medication&#44; regardless of the dose&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors found that the classic &#40;220-age&#41; formula for calculating MPHR had a higher correlation with increasing FC relative to Brawner&#39;s formula&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The calculation of CIx can be performed at submaximal<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> or maximal effort<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a> levels&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Wilkoff<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> defined CIx as the quotient between the chronotropic reserve and the metabolic reserve at submaximal effort&#46; CIx has the advantage of being adjusted to the age and FC of the individual and of being independent of the ergometer or protocol used&#46; In normal adults&#44; the percentage of chronotropic reserve is equal to the percentage of metabolic reserve&#46; This concept means chronotropism can be assessed at any point in an ET using the formula&#58; HR at staging is equal to &#40;220-age HR at rest&#41; multiplied by &#40;METs at staging-1 dividing by METs reached at peak effort&#41;&#46; The normal CIx is 1&#46;0&#44; accepting a range between 0&#46;8 and 1&#46;3&#46; If it is &#8804;0&#46;8 at a given point&#44; CI is considered to exist&#46;</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It can also be determined at maximal effort level&#44; considering the value of MPHR based on age and one of several equations&#59; calculating the respective percentage that was reached by the highest HR reached in ET interrupted by exhaustion&#46; In this case&#44; there are two difficulties&#58; choosing the equation that best applies to the individual under study and ensuring that the degree of exhaustion has been reached&#46;</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding formulas&#44; there is no consensus among experts and no univocal guidelines in international recommendations<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a>&#46; Most exercise physiology laboratories continue to use the classical formula &#40;HRM&#61;220-age&#41;&#44; although some studies have suggested that Brawner&#39;s formula &#40;HRM&#61;164-age&#8239;&#215;&#8239;0&#46;7&#41; would be the most appropriate for individuals with suspected or confirmed<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> coronary heart disease&#44; particularly for those who are undergoing BB therapy&#44;

Any of the proposed equations have an underlying standard deviation around 10-20 beats&#44; which has led most centers to continue to use the equation HRM&#61;220-age because it is easier to use&#44; and they do not see significant usefulness in the alternatives&#46;</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The second difficulty has to do with the certainty that the maximum HR has been reached&#46; Usually this is performed subjectively when the patient or the ET performers consider that physical exhaustion has been reached&#46; If we want to be rigorous&#44; we have to perform a cardiorespiratory ET in which the intensity of effort that conditions the achievement of a respiratory quotient value greater than 1&#46;10<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> must be reached&#46; It is a gross error to consider reaching 85&#37; of MPHR as a criterion to define a maximum effort test and decide upon its suspension&#46;</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In fact&#44; the best methodology for calculating CIx involves selecting a specific protocol to study chronotropism such as CAEP<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> and performing a cardiorespiratory exercise test in which a QR greater than 1&#46;10 is achieved&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">After performing the ET&#44; if we intend to assess CI by the HRM achieved&#44; we need to choose one of its definitions&#46; The definition of CI in medical literature is not agreed upon&#44; and criteria for CI have been found based on percentages ranging from 70&#44; 80 and 85&#37; of MPHR&#44; although most agree on the inability to reach 85&#37; of MPH or 80&#37; of chronotropic reserve &#40;the difference between HR at rest and HR achieved during maximum effort&#41; in individuals not on BB medication&#44; and 62&#37; of MPHR in patients on BB based on the formula HRM&#61;220-age&#46; Brawner&#39;s formula and others significantly underestimate the HRM&#44; as can be seen in the work of Tiago Pimenta et al&#46;</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The methodological difficulties and current inconsistencies in the definition of HF should encourage the conduct of prospective studies to establish an evaluation methodology and a more precise and clear definition&#44;
