Patients at high risk were those with low blood pressure, high heart rate, previous heart attack, diabetes or hypertension. People whose heart attacks were localised to the anterior region of the heart also were at high risk. They had a 14 percent lower risk of death. Less than 40 percent of the heart attacks studied were in that part of the heart. The group with heart rates between 80-99 bpm had 8.7 fewer deaths per 1,000.
Heart failure is a condition that occurs because the heart muscle is damaged or overworked.
