Elevated resting heart rate is a marker for increased mortality, heart failure, and kidney disease, and may predict kidney injury independent of other cardiovascular risk factors.
Elevated resting heart rate is highlighted as a potential risk indicator for kidney disease and injury, in addition to its established role in cardiovascular disease and heart failure.
esting heart rate (RHR) is an easily available biological parameter in clinical practice.Increased RHR is a known marker of increased mortality and the incidence of heart failure and other cardiovascular disease.[1][2][3] The influence of elevated RHR on adverse outcomes and mortality in heart failure has been extensively studied, particularly in sinus rhythm with evidence that targeting an RHR <70 beats per minute (bpm) is beneficial.4 Therefore, in cardiovascular conditions in general, elevated RHR might be a useful risk indicator, while only in heart failure RHR represents a significantly modifiable risk factor.5 In addition, an association between high RHR and kidney disease has been established.6 High RHR may also predict kidney injury including microalbuminuria, independent of other cardiovascular risk factors.
