Recent evidence has shown an effect of ambulatory heart rate (HR) on cardiovascular events and mortality. Our objective was to determine whether ambulatory HR was related to the progression of cerebral small-vessel disease (SVD) or cognitive decline in community-dwelling elderly people. A cohort of 190 community-dwelling elderly people underwent an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cognitive testing at baseline, with MRI and cognitive tests repeated 4 years later. HR variability in ABPM was quantified by the s.d. (s.d. and the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), and the relationship between HR variability and the progression of SVD/cognitive decline was investigated. We also assessed the association of nighttime HR variability and nocturnal HR dipping. The nighttime RMSSD of participants with the progression of SVD was significantly higher than that of those without progression of SVD (P
