Resting Heart Rate Predicted Activities Increase of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System and Its Impact on Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Patients with Essential Hypertension / 中华高血压杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To verify the hypothesis whether resting heart rate(RHR)was able to predict the activities of renin angiotensin aldosterone system(RAAS)and left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in patients with hypertension.Methods One hundred and seventy-five essential hypertensive patients were categorized into three groups based on the levels of blood pressure(BP)140-160/90-100;160-180/100-110;≥180/110 mmHg.Each group were subdivided into four groups according to the levels of RHR.RHR1RHR
