Background And Aims: Resting heart rate is an independent predictor of colorectal cancer (CRC) development and CRC-related mortality. However, little is known about the relationship between resting heart rate and colorectal adenoma development. We aimed to investigate this association in a population who underwent screening colonoscopy.

Methods: Among 39,021 patients who underwent both electrocardiogram and screening colonoscopy during routine health examinations at the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Health Promotion Center, Korea from January 2014 to July 2019, 1,344 patients had advanced adenoma. We performed 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching to establish a control group that mitigated the confounding effects of age and sex. We performed multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify the independent risk factors of advanced adenoma development.

Results: Resting heart rate was significantly higher in the advanced adenoma group than in the control group. The prevalence of advanced polyp increased across the quartiles of resting heart rate. Patients with higher resting heart rates were more likely to be older, smokers, and have increased blood pressure and DM and less likely to engage in active exercises than those with lower resting heart rates. Patients with higher resting heart rates had higher serum glucose, triglyceride, hemoglobin A1C, and insulin levels and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Patients with resting heart rate in the highest quartile (≥71 bpm) still showed significantly increased odds ratio (OR) of advanced adenoma development (OR: 1.379, 95% confidence interval: 1.099-1.731, p = 0.006).

Conclusions: High resting heart rate was a meaningful independent risk factor of advanced adenoma development.

Orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) is a well-established therapy for end-stage heart failure that leads to improved long-term survival rates, with careful allograft surveillance essential for optimizing clinical outcomes after OHT. Unfortunately, complications can arise after OHT that can compromise the success of the OHT. Cardiac MRI is continually evolving, with a range of advanced techniques that can be applied to evaluate allograft structure and function.

Until now, it has been challenging to examine what are the causes of the cognitive decline associated with hypertension and to understand the predictive variables that indicate the development of cognitive impairment in people with hypertension. This work is aimed to understand the interplay between heart rate variability and blood pressure and whether their combination can predict cognitive performance. This cross-sectional observational study involved patients with fifty-two adults with essential hypertension and a control group of 41 healthy adults without hypertension.

Article Synopsis
  • Measuring the heart rate of sea turtles helps us understand their physiological adaptations, particularly focusing on the non-invasive ECG methods developed for loggerhead turtles.
  • The study explored alternative electrode placements on the plastron of green sea turtles, finding successful ECG readings when the negative electrode was positioned near the neck.
  • Results showed that resting heart rates averaged about 8.6 beats per minute, aligning with previous studies, and highlight the need for careful individual selection to improve measurement reliability.

The risk of cardiovascular disease differs among various ethnic groups, highlighting disparities in cardiovascular health among different populations. While multiple studies from other countries have looked at changes in physiological parameters during autonomic function tests like isometric handgrip and cold pressor tests, no correlational research has been done in Saudi Arabia. This lacuna underscores the importance of examining the relationship between cardiorespiratory parameters in young Saudi Arabian individuals during these tests.

Aging is a multi-organ disease, yet the traditional approach has been to study each organ in isolation. Such organ-specific studies have provided invaluable information regarding its pathomechanisms. However, an overall picture of the whole-body network (WBN) during aging is still incomplete.
