Dynamic change of heart rate in the acute phase and clinical outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dynamic change of heart rate in the acute phase and clinical outcomes after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the associations of heart rate trajectories and variability with functional outcome and mortality in patients with acute ICH.

Methods

This prospective study was conducted among 332 patients with acute ICH. Latent mixture modeling was used to identify heart rate trajectories during the first 72 h of hospitalization after ICH onset. Mean and coefficient of variation of heart rate measurements were calculated. The study outcomes included unfavorable functional outcome, ordinal shift of modified Rankin Scale score, and all-cause mortality.

Results

We identified 3 distinct heart rate trajectory patterns (persistent-h
