Buckground A higher heart rate (HR) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Hypertension is an important cardiovascular risk factor. The present study evaluated whether a higher HR was associated with the development of hypertension in normotensive, screened subjects.Methods and Results Among normotensive participants of a 1-day health evaluation in 1997, we studied those who also participated in the program in 2000 (n=4,331; 2,823 men (65%), 1,508 women; mean age 47 9 years). Subjects were divided into 4 groups based on their HR in 1997: quartile 1 (HR: 58, n=1,033), quartile 2 (59
