Chronotrophy refers to the influence on heart rate, specifically the ability of the heart to increase or decrease its rate of contraction in response to physiological demands. Understanding chronotropic effects is crucial in clinical practice, as it helps assess cardiac function and the response to stress or medications. For example, impaired chronotropic response can be seen in conditions like heart failure, where the heart struggles to meet increased metabolic demands.
