Resting heart rate, temporal changes in resting heart rate, and overall and cause-specific mortality

Most studies investigating the association between resting heart rate (RHR) and mortality have focused on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, and measured RHR at only one time point. We aimed to assess associations of RHR and changes in RHR over approximately a decade with overall and cause-specific mortality.We used data from participants in the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study with RHR measures at baseline (1990-1994; n=41 386; 9846...
