From the Department of Medicine (K.N., S.H., S.C.L., A.T., M.R.D.T.), Department of Biostatistics (Z.J.), and Departments of Neurology and Epidemiology (M.S.V.E.), Columbia University, New York, NY; Department of Neurology (T.R., C.B.W., R.L.S.), Department of Public Health Sciences (T.R., C.B.W., R.L.S.), and Department of Human Genetics (R.L.S.), Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, FL; Department of Neurology, Hokuriku National Hospital, Nanto, Japan (M.Y.); and Department of Neurology, University of California at Davis (C.D.).
Background And Purpose: Although increased heart rate (HR) is a predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality, its possible association with subclinical cerebrovascular disease, which is prevalent in the elderly, has not been evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the association of daytime, nighttime, 24-hour HR, and HR variability with subclinical cerebrovascular disease in an elderly cohort without history of stroke.
Methods: The study cohort consisted of 680 participants (mean age, 73±7 years; 42% men) in sinus rhythm who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and HR monitoring, 2-dimensional echocardiography, and brain magnetic resonance imaging as part of the CABL study (Cardiac Abnormalities and Brain Lesion).
