TL;DR
In patients with stable coronary artery disease and left-ventricular systolic dysfunction, elevated heart rate (70 bpm or greater) identifies those at increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes, with a differential effect on outcomesassociated with heart failure and outcomes associated with coronary events.

3,116 Citations1984Jay N. Cohn, T. Barry Levine +6 more
Measurements of Hemodynamics, plasma norepinephrine, and plasma renin activity in patients with moderate to severe congestive heart failure suggest that a single resting venous blood sample showing the plasma norenphrine concentration provides a better guide to prognosis than other commonly measured indexes of cardiac performance.

Journal of the American College of CardiologyWhat resting heart rate should one aim for when treating patients with heart failure with a beta-blocker?
106 Citations2005Lars Gullestad, John Wikstrand +9 more
Achieved HR and change in HR during follow-up were closely related to baseline HR; therefore, it was not possible to answer the question posed and a very simple rule was applied: aim for the target beta-blocker dose used in clinical trials, and strive for the highest tolerated dose in all patients with heart failure.
