Key result
A 10-beat per minute increase in resting heart rate was associated with an approximately 30% increased risk of multiple risk factor syndrome (OR 1.309).
Why the study?
Does higher resting heart rate associate with an increased risk of multiple risk factor syndrome in a screened cohort?
Cross-Sectional (n=8,432)
No
Does higher resting heart rate associate with an increased risk of multiple risk factor syndrome in a screened cohort?
Effect estimate: OR 1.309 (95% CI 1.241-1.381)
p-value: p=<0.0001
Higher resting heart rate is independently associated with a significantly increased risk of multiple risk factor syndrome (metabolic syndrome) in a general screening population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Higher resting heart rate was associated with metabolic syndrome risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical consideration.
Inoue et al. (2008) conducted a cross-sectional in Multiple risk factor syndrome (n=8,432). Elevated resting heart rate vs. Lower resting heart rate was evaluated on Multiple risk factor syndrome (OR 1.309, 95% CI 1.241-1.381, p=<0.0001). A 10-beat per minute increase in resting heart rate was associated with an approximately 30% increased risk of multiple risk factor syndrome (OR 1.309).
