Abstract
Background: The association of mortality with resting heart rate (RHR) and predicted risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) has not been comprehensively elucidated.
Objective: To evaluate the individual and combined impacts of RHR and predicted CVD risk on mortality among Chinese adults.
Methods: A total of 108,257 Chinese adults were followed up during 1992 to 2015. The Cox proportional hazards model was employed to assess the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of mortality associated with RHR and the predicted risk of incident CVD.
Results: During an average of 8.53 years of follow-up, we identified 6267 non-accidental deaths, including 2324 CVD deaths. High-RHR participants had higher HRs of non-accidental (1.58; 95%CI: 1.47, 1.70), CVD (1.71; 95%CI: 1.53, 1.92), and non-CVD mortality (1.50; 95%CI: 1.37, 1.64) than low-RHR ones, respectively. Compare to individuals with low CVD risk, those with high CVD risk demonstrated HRs of 1.67 (95%CI: 1.51, 1.83) and 3.90 (95%CI: 3.29, 4.61) for non-accidental and CVD mortality, respectively. The mortality risk gradually increased with the elevation of CVD risk and RHR, showing the greatest HRs of non-accidental (2.57; 95%CI: 2.24, 2.94) and CVD mortality (7.16; 95%CI: 5.52, 9.29) among participants with both high CVD risk and high RHR.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that RHR and CVD risk are independently associated with mortality, and integrating them could potentially refine risk stratification of mortality. It highlighted the important role of them in personalized strategies for primordial and primary prevention.
