A large body of evidence has shown that resting heart rate (RHR) holds important prognostic information in several clinical conditions. In the majority of the general population studies, a graded association between RHR and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, ischaemic heart disease, and stroke has been observed. These associations appeared even stronger and more consistent in hypertensive patients. Studies performed with 24h ambulatory recording have shown that an elevated night-time heart rate may confere an additional risk on top of office RHR.
