Key result
Heart rate recovery was not associated with central systolic blood pressure in young healthy individuals (r=0.06, P=0.53), but was associated with lower augmentation index (r=-0.37, P<0.001).
Why the study?
Heart rate recovery offers valuable cardiovascular data with minimal skill and cost, but its associations with central systolic blood pressure and augmentation index in young healthy individuals, overall and by sex, remained to be examined.
Cross-Sectional (n=107)
Effect estimate: r = 0.06
p-value: p=0.53
In young healthy individuals, heart rate recovery is not associated with central systolic blood pressure, though it is inversely associated with the augmentation index.

HRR shows no CSBP link in healthy young adults; leaves open its role as a simple surrogate in broader or higher-risk populations.
A 2022 study conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=107). Heart rate recovery was evaluated on Association between heart rate recovery at 1 minute (HRR1) and central systolic blood pressure (CSBP) (r = 0.06, p=0.53). Heart rate recovery was not associated with central systolic blood pressure in young healthy individuals (r=0.06, P=0.53), but was associated with lower augmentation index (r=-0.37, P<0.001).
