Abstract

The predictive power of elevated heart rate for total mortality was evaluated in a Japanese general population. A total of 573 male participants, aged 40 to 64, who underwent a health examination in 1977, were followed until 1994. Heart rate (beats per minute; bpm) was measured using an electrocardiogram. During the 18 years, 82 subjects died; 18 from cerebro-cardiovascular diseases and 36 from cancer. In a multivariate proportional hazards regression model, age, elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressures, antihypertensive medication, heart rate, uric acid, vital capacity (inversely), and serum cholesterol (inversely) were significantly associated with all-cause death. Of these variables, elevated heart rate was the strongest predictor of all-cause death after adjustment for age. Resting heart rate levels were classified into five groups: < 60 (G1), 60-69 (G2), 70-79 (G3), 80-89 (G4), and > or = 90 (G5) bpm. Heart rates of 60-69 (G2) bpm showed the lowest death rate (14.3%) and heart rate > or = 90 (G5) bpm showed the highest death rate (38.2%) after adjustments for age and other confounding factors. The relative risk of G2 versus G5 was 2.68. An increased mortality risk was shown in men whose heart rate was > or = 90 bpm....Continue Reading

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
