Table 3
Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses for MACEs according to the presence or absence of hypertension.
| | HR (95% CI) | value |
| Overall population | Admission heart rate ≤66 bpm | Reference | — | Admission heart rate 67–73 bpm | 1.024 (0.710–1.479) | 0.897 | Admission heart rate ≥74 bpm | 1.459 (1.037–2.051) | 0.030 | Absence of hypertension | Reference | — | Presence of hypertension | 0.967 (0.705–1.327) | 0.835 | Absence of hypertension | Admission heart rate ≤66 bpm | Reference | — | Admission heart rate 67–73 bpm | 0.744 (0.406–1.364) | 0.339 | Admission heart rate ≥74 bpm | 0.614 (0.342–1.101) | 0.102 | Presence of hypertension | Admission heart rate ≤66 bpm | Reference | — | Admission heart rate 67–73 bpm | 1.143 (0.700–1.864) | 0.594 | Admission heart rate ≥74 bpm | 2.062 (1.300–3.270) | 0.002 |
