Heritability of resting heart rate and association with mortality in middle-aged and elderly twins

21 Jun 2017

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Resting heart rate (RHR) possibly has a hereditary component and is associated with longevity. We used the classical biometric twin study design to investigate the heritability of RHR in a population of middle-aged and elderly twins and, furthermore, studied the association between RHR and mortality. METHODS: In total, 4282 twins without cardiovascular disease were included from the Danish Twin...
