Heart rate

I don't care about that.

I'm really HR, HRV is very different.

Heart rate variability is how much variation.

So if we watched your heart rate for two minutes, like it's obviously not going to, it's an average.

The genetic architecture

of blood pressure or BP and heart rate or HR during childhood remains poorly understood.

In a clinical research article entitled Genetic Determinants of Childhood Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in Relation to Adult Health Outcomes The Consortium of Childhood Blood Pressure Qian Xi and colleagues from the Guangzhou National Laboratory in China aim to 1.

Identify genetic loci associated with these traits in children 2.

Quantify the shared and distinct genetic architecture between childhood and adulthood 3.

Investigate associations between PRSs derived from childhood BP and HR genome-wide association studies and adult disease outcomes using a phenome-wide association study .

The largest GWAS meta-analyses to date of childhood systolic BP, diastolic BP, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure and HR were conducted in children of European ancestry aged 4 to 17 years.

Follow-up analyses included comparisons with adult GWAS results, PRS analyses in independent cohorts of diverse ancestries, and a PHEWAS in the UK Biobank.
