Overall: I found this an interesting hook that caught my attention. AGF on restricted sources, although available extracts seemed to confirm the facts. Only comment would be that this article could possibly be improved by an infobox, e.g. Template:Infobox medical condition, or other supporting material, although this is not strictly necessary for DYK.

This article needs a lead section, as it would deserve {{lead missing}} without one.--Laun chba ller 11:55, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea about the infobox, will try to add something later. Per MOS:NOLEAD, the article is not long enough to require a lead, unless there is some DYK-specific rule I'm unaware of. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm reading that correctly, then articles are exempted from having them when they are stubs, and stubs can't run per WP:DYKSTUB.--Laun chba ller 16:46, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I read the policy slightly differently, i.e. stubs and other articles under 400/500 words don't require a lead. Often, the threshold for not being a stub anymore is roughly 250/300 words. So shorter Start articles also don't always benefit from a lead section. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:54, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added an infobox and slightly expanded the article so it's more clearly above the stub threshold. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:10, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still think the article would benefit from having a brief lead, such as "Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is the inability of heart rate to increase as expected in response to exercise. The condition can be defined in different ways and occurs in various diseases. Sufferers have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and early death."--Laun chba ller 19:30, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
