Resting heart rate is an independent predictor of advanced colorectal adenoma recurrence.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

High heart rate is an independent predictor of total cancer incidence and all-cause mortality in patients with cancer. We aimed to evaluate the impact of resting heart rate on the recurrence of colorectal polyp, using long-term surveillance follow-up data of colorectal cancer survivors.

Methods

Three hundred patients were selected from the colorectal cancer survivor cohort of Severance Hospital, Seoul, Korea. Resting heart rate, physical activity, and body composition analysis at the time of 5-year survival, and clinical data including colonoscopy surveillance results were collected for mean follow-up duration of 8 years.

Results

Patients with a high resting heart rate showed a significantly higher recurrence rate of advanced adenoma than those with
