Correlation between resting #heart rate (HR) at admission and long-term #Survival in patients admitted with #stroke
1. High resting HR is a risk factor for stroke and death. In a recent study, patient's HR at admission after stroke was correlated with long term survival & death.

2. Compared with the reference group (mean heart rate < 60 bpm), risk of #death was 23% higher for mean heart rate 60–69 bpm, 74% higher for mean heart rate 70–79 bpm, 116% higher for mean heart rate 80–89 bpm, and 183% higher for mean heart rate ≥ 90 bpm.

3. Compared with the reference group (mean heart rate < 60 bpm), the risk of cardiovascular death was 18% higher for mean heart rate 60–69 bpm, 57% higher for mean heart rate 70–79 bpm, 98% higher for mean heart rate 80–89 bpm, and 136% higher for mean heart rate ≥ 90 bpm.
4. Conclusion: In this study of 21,655 patients with acute ischemic stroke, it was found that the mean initial in-hospital heart rate was a predictor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death, independently of other known risk factors such as age and stroke severity.
