Description
Kirsten M. Lipps and colleagues report a 2026 study of heart risk in a cardiac intensive care unit, a unit for very ill heart patients. They test a score called pressure adjusted heart rate. The score joins heart rate with two blood pressure measures from a heart ultrasound scan done soon after arrival.
Records covered more than five thousand patients from 2007 to 2018. Higher scores went with worse illness, worse heart scans and more deaths in hospital and at one year. Each small rise in score raised death risk a bit. The score sorted risk better than heart rate or blood pressure alone, which may help staff spot high risk patients early.
