Abstract in brief

  • Chronotropic incompetence is when the heart cannot increase its rate appropriately during activity or stress, limiting exercise capacity.
  • This condition can lead to symptoms like fatigue, fainting, and reduced quality of life, and it is often associated with other heart issues like heart failure.
  • Management includes medications such as chronotropic agents and device therapies like pacemakers, aimed at improving heart rate response and patient symptoms.
