Old and new equations for maximal and anaerobic threshold heart rate prediction in coronary heart disease in Chinese population.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe prediction of maximal heart rate (MHR) and anaerobic threshold heart rate (HRAT) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), particularly among the Chinese population, remains a significant challenge. Existing equations for MHR prediction are primarily designed for healthy individuals not on medication for optimized β-blocker (BB) therapy, showing limited efficacy for individuals on various drug regimens. Moreover, the prediction of HRAT lacks established formulas. This study aims to develop equations for MHR and HRAT, assess the accuracy of historical MHR formulas, and examine their correlation with HR measurements at the anaerobic threshold (AT).
methodsAmong 2021 to 2023, 170 CHD patients were recruited. Patients were categorized into groups based on BB usage. BB dose was transformed into carvedilol dose. Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was employed to identify predictors of MHR and HRAT, incorporating key patient variables according to prior studies (age, sex, height, weight, carvedilol dose, HRrest). The mean absolute percentage errors (MAPEs) were calculated and compared among abovementioned MHR and HRAT prediction formulas. Besides, the percentages of MHR in predicting HRAT among different formulas were calculated.
resultsFor the patients with BB medication, the simplified equations derived for MHR and HRAT were 176 - 1.2*age + 0.7*HRrest - 0.4*weight and 98 - 0.6*age + 0.7*HRrest - 0.3*weight, respectively. For those without BB medication, the derived equations for MHR and HRAT were 200 - 1.1*age and 91 - 0.5*age + 0.5*HRrest, respectively. There are significant differences between the results predicted by the new formula and the prior formulas. The new formulas are helpful for predicting the MHR of patients during exercise more accurately and guiding exercise training more scientifically.
conclusionsThe new equations for estimating MHR and HRAT in CHD patients enhance the accuracy of prior formulas. Given the BB impact on sympathetic nerve activity, the predictive formulas for MHR and HRAT were significantly improved.
