The ESCORT trial compares a low target of 55 to 65 bpm with a standard target of 75 to 85 bpm. The standard heart-rate target reflects less aggressive real-world practice driven partly by concern about hypotension and hypoperfusion. Guidelines recommend heart-rate control before surgery, but the optimal target remains uncertain. Elevated heart rate contributes to aortic wall stress and can promote dissection progression, rupture, and organ malperfusion.
