Predictive value of heart rate in patients with acute type A aortic dissection: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Heart rate (HR) is a risk factor of mortality in many cardiovascular diseases but no clinical studies have focused on the association between HR and prognosis in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study aimed to evaluate the association between HR and long-term mortality and establish the criteria of HR in patients with ATAAD who underwent total aortic arch replacement combined with the frozen elephant trunk (TAR+FET).

Design, setting and participants

Retrospective cohort study that studied all consecutive patients with ATAAD who underwent TAR+FET in the Fuwai Hospital between 2009 and 2015.

Main outcomes and measures

30-day postoperative, and estimated long-term mortality.

Results

Overall, 707 patients with ATAAD who underwent
