Implication

Morning home HR elevation may persist despite BP control; hypothesis-generating for HR as independent therapeutic target.

Key Points

To evaluate the current status of resting home heart rate and blood pressure control among treated patients with hypertension.
Monitored morning (N=3,183) and evening (N=3,106) resting heart rate and blood pressure in treated hypertensive patients using self-monitored home devices.
High home heart rate was defined as ≥70 beats/min, and controlled home blood pressure was defined as <135/85 mmHg.
Mean home heart rate reached 67.2 ± 9.1 beats/min in the morning and 69.6 ± 9.2 beats/min in the evening.
High home heart rate was present in 35.7% of patients in the morning (N=3,183) and 46.7% in the evening (N=3,106).
Patients exhibiting both high home heart rate and controlled blood pressure accounted for 11.3% in the morning and 24.2% in the evening.

Prevalence of high home heart rate (≥70 beats/min) and controlled home blood pressure (<135/85 mmHg)surrogate

A significant proportion of treated hypertensive patients have inadequately controlled resting home heart rate and blood pressure.
