ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of elevated resting heart rate on early-stage renal dysfunction, manifesting as microalbuminuria, in hypertension is unclear. This study aimed to analyze the association between resting heart rate and microalbuminuria in patients with hypertension according to their blood pressure status. In addition, the effect of antihypertensive agents on this relationship was evaluated.

Methods and results

We searched the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for eligible participants from 2009 to 2018. Data on key parameters such as age, sex, blood pressure, heart rate, albumin creatinine ratio, and medication were collected for analysis. Subsequently, participants were classified according to the heart rate quartile and blood pressure status for subgrou
