Association of heart rate with cardiovascular events and mortality in hypertensive and normotensive population: a nationwide prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. We assessed the association of baseline heart rate with cardiovascular events and mortality in hypertensive and normotensive populations using a prospective urban and rural epidemiology cohort study in China.

Methods

A total of 29,554 individuals were involved in our analysis, distributed equally between groups of normotensive and hypertensive. The primary outcomes were myocardial infarction, stroke, major cardiovascular diseases, and cardiovascular mortality. Cox frailty models were utilized to estimate hazard ratios for cardiovascular outcomes, and restricted cubic splines were used to explore the shape of the association between baseline heart rate and cardiovascular mortality.

Results

During a total observational time of 230,813 person-years, 402 myocardial infarction events, 1,096 stroke events, 1,540 major cardiovascular events, and 356 cardiovascular deaths were documented. In adjusted analyses, normotensive subjects with baseline heart rate >82.5 beats per minute had a 3.30-fold greater risk of cardiovascular death and an increased 72% risk of myocardial infarction, compared with individuals whose baseline heart rate was 65.5-71 beats per minute. A similar trend was observed for cardiovascular mortality in the hypertensive population, but the association was attenuated. Multivariable-adjusted restricted cubic splines showed linear associations between baseline heart rate and cardiovascular mortality in two groups of people (all P<0.05 for linearity).

Conclusions

Elevated baseline heart rate is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and myocardial infarction in the normotensive population. The association is attenuated for cardiovascular death in hypertensive patients.

Project description:Green, natural environments may ameliorate adverse environmental exposures (e.g., air pollution, noise, and extreme heat), increase physical activity and social engagement, and lower stress.We aimed to examine the prospective association between residential greenness and mortality.Using data from the U.S.-based Nurses' Health Study prospective cohort, we defined cumulative average time-varying seasonal greenness surrounding each participant's address using satellite imagery [Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)]. We followed 108,630 women and observed 8,604 deaths between 2000 and 2008.In models adjusted for mortality risk factors (age, race/ethnicity, smoking, and individual- and area-level socioeconomic status), women living in the highest quintile of cumulative average greenness (accounting for changes in residence during follow-up) in the 250-m area around their home had a 12% lower rate of all-cause nonaccidental mortality [95% confidence interval (CI); 0.82, 0.94] than those in the lowest quintile. The results were consistent for the 1,250-m area, although the relationship was slightly attenuated. These associations were strongest for respiratory and cancer mortality. The findings from a mediation analysis suggested that the association between greenness and mortality may be at least partly mediated by physical activity, particulate matter < 2.5 ?m, social engagement, and depression.Higher levels of green vegetation were associated with decreased mortality. Policies to increase vegetation may provide opportunities for physical activity, reduce harmful exposures, increase social engagement, and improve mental health. Planting vegetation may mitigate the effects of climate change; in addition, evidence of an association between vegetation and lower mortality rates suggests it also might be used to improve health.James P, Hart JE, Banay RF, Laden F. 2016.

Project description:BackgroundAn association between increased aortic root dimensions (ARD) and elevated risk of cardiovascular mortality has been reported in the general population. However, evidence regarding the association between ARD and mortality in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) is limited.MethodsIn a nationwide prospective cohort of the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Prospective Heart Failure Study, ARD was measured during diastole using echocardiography and indexed to body mass index (BMI). Cox proportional hazard models were used to validate the association between BMI-indexed ARD and mortality. Additionally, the relationship between BMI-indexed ARD and mortality was presented using restricted cubic spline in all populations, and both sexes.ResultsA total of 2125 participants with ARD were included in the final analysis, among of 38.4 % were women, with a median age of 67 years. Over a median follow-up period of 54.4 (interquartile range: 30.1 to 59.7) months, 895 deaths occurred, with 750 attributed to cardiovascular causes and 145 to non-cardiovascular causes. Compared to the highest tertile group of BMI-indexed ARD, the lowest tertile group had a lower risk of cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.71; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.58 to 0.87; P < 0.001) and all-cause mortality (HR, 0.68; 95 % CI, 0.56 to 0.81; P < 0.001). Similarly, the middle tertile group also had a lower risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.78; 95 % CI, 0.65 to 0.93; P = 0.007) and all-cause mortality (HR, 0.75; 95 % CI, 0.63 to 0.89; P < 0.001). Considering the competing risks, the lowest BMI-indexed ARD groups showed a significant mortality risk of cardiovascular mortality in all populations, and both sexes. Moreover, the relationship between BMI-indexed ARD and mortality was linear in males, while a "J" shaped relationship was observed in females.ConclusionLower BMI-indexed ARD was associated with a decreased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than those with higher BMI-indexed ARD in AHF. Additionally, a discrepancy was observed between the sexes in the relationship between BMI-indexed ARD and mortality. These findings contribute to the prompt identification of potential mortality risks in patients with AHF.
