Impact of resting heart rate on cardiovascular mortality according to serum albumin levels in a 24-year follow-up study on a general Japanese population: NIPPON DATA80.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundElevated resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality. However, the findings of cohort studies differed. Thus, the impact of RHR on CVD mortality might be different according to the background of the population. Therefore, we examined the relationship of RHR and CVD mortality according to serum ALB levels in a Japanese general population.MethodsIn total, 8363 individuals without a history of CVD were followed-up for 24.0 years. The participants were divided into four groups according to the quartiles of RHR (Q1-Q4), and they were further classified into the high and low ALB groups based on a median value of 44 g/L. We estimated the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of CVD mortality in each RHR grou
