Red blood cell distribution width in heart failure: A narrative review
The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a simple, rapid, inexpensive and straightforward hematological parameter, reflecting the degree of anisocytosis in vivo. The currently available scientific evidence suggests that RDW assessment not only predicts the risk of adverse outcomes (cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, hospitalization for acute decompensation or worsened left ventricula...
متن کاملRed blood cell distribution width: a determinant of hospital mortality in pancreatitis
Objective: In recent years, there has been a great attention concerning red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in clinical decisions as well as determining the severity of diseases. This study was conducted to evaluate the primary level of RDW to predict hospital mortality in pancreatitis. Methods: This was a descriptive analytical study performed on 100 pati...
متن کاملPredictive Values of Red Blood Cell Distribution Width in Assessing Severity of Chronic Heart Failure
BACKGROUND This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the value of baseline red blood cell distribution width (RDW) for predicting the severity of chronic heart failure (CHF) compared with N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) and other hematological and biochemical parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS Hematological and biochemical parameters were obtained from 179 pat...
متن کاملRed blood cell distribution width is longitudinally associated with mortality and anemia in heart failure patients.
BACKGROUND Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been found to be an independent predictor for adverse outcome in patients with heart failure (HF), but there are no data on the association of longitudinal RDW with all-cause mortality and occurrence of anemia. METHODS AND RESULTS 1,702 patients discharged from a previous admission for acute HF (AHF) were included. RDW was measured during...
متن کاملRed blood cell distribution width adds prognostic value for outpatients with chronic heart failure.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Red blood cell distribution width has emerged as a new prognostic biomarker in cardiovascular diseases. Its additional value in risk stratification of patients with chronic heart failure has not yet been established. METHODS A total of 698 consecutive outpatients with chronic heart failure were studied (median age 71 years [interquartile range, 62-77], 63% male, le...
