Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A prospective study performed in 1,311 men and women, mean age 81 years, with heart disease and sinus rhythm showed at 48-month follow-up that male sex, increasing age, and average 24-hour heart rate measured from 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiograms were independent risk factors for new coronary events. There was a 1.14 times higher chance of developing new coronary events for an increment of 5 beats/min of heart rate after controlling the confounding effect of other risk factors.
