Increased heart rate has been associated with stroke risk and outcomes. The purpose of this study was to explore the long-term prognostic value of initial in-hospital heart rate in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
We analyzed data from 21,655 patients with AIS enrolled (January 2010-September 2018) in the Chang Gung Research Database. Mean initial in-hospital heart rates were averaged and categorized into 10-beat-per-minute (bpm) increments. The primary and secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazard models, using the heart rate < 60 bpm subgroup as the reference.
The adjusted HRs for all-cause mortality were 1.23 (95% CI 1.08-1.41) for heart rate 60-69 bpm, 1.74 (95% CI 1.53-1.97) for heart rate 70-79 bpm, 2.16 (95% CI 1.89-2.46) for heart rate 80-89 bpm, and 2.83 (95% CI 2.46-3.25) for heart rate ≥ 90 bpm compared with the reference group. Likewise, heart rate ≥ 60 bpm was also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death (adjusted HR 1.18 [95% CI 0.95-1.46] for heart rate 60-69 bpm, 1.57 [95% CI 1.28-1.93] for heart rate 70-79 bpm, 1.98 [95% CI 1.60-2.45] for heart rate 80-89 bpm, and 2.36 [95% CI 1.89-2.95] for heart rate ≥ 90 bpm).
High initial in-hospital heart rate is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death in patients with AIS.
心率升高与卒中风险和结局相关。本研究旨在探讨急性缺血性卒中(AIS)患者住院初始心率与长期预后的关系。
我们分析了 2010 年 1 月至 2018 年 9 月期间纳入长庚研究数据库的 21655 例 AIS 患者的数据。平均初始住院心率,以 10 次/分(bpm)递增进行分类。主要和次要结局为全因死亡率和心血管死亡。使用多变量调整的 Cox 比例风险模型估计危险比(HR)和 95%置信区间(CI),以心率<60bpm 亚组作为参考。
心率为 60-69bpm、70-79bpm、80-89bpm 和≥90bpm 时,全因死亡率的调整 HR 分别为 1.23(95%CI 1.08-1.41)、1.74(95%CI 1.53-1.97)、2.16(95%CI 1.89-2.46)和 2.83(95%CI 2.46-3.25),与参考组相比。同样,心率≥60bpm 也与心血管死亡风险增加相关(心率为 60-69bpm 时,调整 HR 为 1.18[95%CI 0.95-1.46],心率为 70-79bpm 时,调整 HR 为 1.57[95%CI 1.28-1.93],心率为 80-89bpm 时,调整 HR 为 1.98[95%CI 1.60-2.45],心率≥90bpm 时,调整 HR 为 2.36[95%CI 1.89-2.95])。
住院初始心率较高是 AIS 患者全因死亡率和心血管死亡的独立预测因素。
