ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of heart rate with hypertension in adult population of Mingora city, district Swat. The study comprised of 100 subjects, 34 control, 33 obese and 33 hypertensive. Weight, height, body mass index, heart rate, and blood pressure of hypertensive subjects were compared with obese subjects and control subjects. Hypertensive subjects had faster heart rate than obese normotensive subjects, which in turn had higher value than control subjects. Faster resting heart rate is a potent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
