Heart rate serves as a critical prognostic factor in heart failure (HF) patients. We hypothesise that elevated heart rate in critically ill HF patients on discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) could be linked to adverse outcomes.Design
A single-centre retrospective cohort study.Setting
This study used data collected between 2008 and 2019 from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (V.2.0) Database.Participants
From the 76 943 ICU stays, we enrolled 2365 patients in this study.Primary and secondary outcome measures
We observed correlations between in-hospital mortality and ICU discharge heart rate of 83.56±15.81 beats per minute (bpm) (survivors) vs 93.84±17.28 bpm (non-survivors, p<0.001). Total mortality showed similar t
