Key result
The clustering of three cardiovascular risk factors significantly increased the odds of having a high heart rate compared to having zero risk factors (OR 4.582).
Why the study?
Is high heart rate associated with a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in a screened cohort?
Cross-Sectional (n=8,508)
No
Is high heart rate associated with a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in a screened cohort?
Effect estimate: OR 4.582 (95% CI 2.815-7.459)
High heart rate is significantly associated with the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia.

High heart rate was associated with clustered risks on screening; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any practice change.
Inoue et al. (2001) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular risk factors (n=8,508). Clustering of 3 cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia) vs. 0 risk factors was evaluated on High heart rate (≥77 beats/min) (OR 4.582, 95% CI 2.815-7.459). The clustering of three cardiovascular risk factors significantly increased the odds of having a high heart rate compared to having zero risk factors (OR 4.582).
