Abstract：ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between resting heart rate after admission and the prognosis of patients with acute phase of cerebral infarction.MethodsIn this study, 200 patients hospitalized for acute cerebral infarction within 48 hours of onset were collected.Resting heart rate was measured for each patient after admission.According to heart rate after admission,patients were divided into <60，60-69，70-79，80-89，and≥90 beats/min group.At 3 months after leaving hospital,we used the modified Rankin score (mRS) to assess the prognosis.mRS ≤2 was divided into favorable prognosis, mRS≥3 was divided into poor prognosis.ResultsOf the 200 cases,189 cases were completely investigated.Acute cerebral infarction patients of ＜60 and ≥90 beats/min groups suffered the highest incidence rate of poor prognosis,respectively 20.21% (19/94) and 36.17% (34/94) ,while patients of 60~69 group suffered the lowest rate,10.64% (10/94).The difference was statistically significant (χ2=1.41,P<0.05）.ConclusionThe mRS score is different from admitted resting heart rate of patients with acute cerebral infraction,which could implicate for prognosis.
